Director Caroline Koning has signed with Park Pictures for US representation. The self-taught writer and director's approach to commercial filmmaking is shaped by her boundless experience within fashion and the agency world. Impossible to pigeonhole, her extensive portfolio of work speaks to Koning's voracious appetite for creative subjects and genres alike.
Koning's first collaborative venture under the banner of Park Pictures was with Goodby for the Women's World Cup. Before signing, she worked with several high-profile brands, including Nike, Loewe, i-D, Wrangler, Etsy, and Roberto Cavalli. Koning's films are rich with vibrant experimental landscapes and stylized realism. As a director, her creative vision and elevated taste lend a touch of high-brow refinement to all her films.
Her first film, "Love Stories - Bo," was featured in Nowness and earned the title of staff pick, setting the stage for a career focused on crafting stylish, visually stunning content. Since then, Koning has won several awards as a filmmaker, including a D&AD Wood Pencil, several ADCN Lamps, a Clio, a Webby, and Shots Director of the Year in 2021. Koning is dedicated to advocacy and creating a more equitable environment for her colleagues. She has served as a Dutch local ambassador for Free The Work from 2018-2022 and continues to mentor and support up-and-coming creatives.
Caroline Koning says of joining Park Pictures: “Park creates incredible work, and I couldn’t be more excited to join their amazing roster. There’s lots of shared values between us, both ethically and artistically, so there was an instant sense of coming home. I’m thrilled that we’ve already hit the ground running, and I look forward to many more collaborations to come.”
“Caroline’s work is as beautiful as it is emotionally captivating,” says Jackie Kelman Bisbee, Founding Partner of Park Pictures. “We value excellence in craft and professional integrity; Caroline’s got that in spades. We’re elated to have such a renowned global talent on our roster and can’t wait to connect her with more opportunities in the US.”
