Park Pictures London Welcomes Writer/Director Abigail Wilson to the UK Roster

Park Pictures London announces the signing of writer/director and actor, Abigail Wilson, following the UK premiere of her Park Pictures produced short film ‘Overdrive’. 

London-based Abigail Wilson has a keen eye for the peculiar, a passion for the eccentric, and an innate talent for humour. Following an impressive debut with her music video for Modeselektor's 'Mean Friend' – which earned her a UKMVA Win in 2021 for 'Best Dance/Electronic Music Video - ‘Newcomer' – she racked up another UKMVA win in 2023 for her subversive Stone video challenging perceptions of masculinity through a pseudo serious dance machine face off. 

In 2024 Abigail wrote and directed a film ‘Triple The Vote’ for Upvote – a youth-led, non-partisan campaign to increase voter turnout amongst young people in the UK General Election. The film was viewed more than 2 million times on social media and through billboards and out-of-home advertising. The film was featured on David Reviews (Five Stars), Dazed, Little Black Book, Shots and more. 

Her 2024 short film Overdrive – in which a woman fights for control over her body and mind in a metaphorical joyride of speed, stunts, and the relentless intensity of her menstrual cycle – was supported by Arts Council England and charity Wellbeing of Women. The film premiered in London at the Rio Cinema on the 26th of November and is currently being selected for festivals worldwide.

“Abigail embodies everything that excites us here at Park Pictures London - her singular voice, constant experiments with form and technique, and multihyphenate approach to development and directing make her a truly exciting one to watch. I am immensely proud to welcome her to the roster.” said Fran Thompson, MD and EP at Park Pictures London.

“Joining the roster at Park is an absolute dream. Not only do I get to sit among such fantastic talent, but I now get to work alongside an extraordinary, passionate, and hardworking team. I feel so lucky and am beyond grateful. I can’t wait for what’s next.” said Abigail Wilson.
