Pulse Films has added director Tom Day to its global roster. His latest work for both Adidas Originals, starring Barry Keoghan, and the Met Police showcase his ability to create authentic, beautifully observed visuals combined with visceral human storytelling.
Day said of joining Pulse, “As a director who moves between commercials and documentaries, finding a home at a production company that has such incredible pedigree in both instantly felt like the perfect fit. While getting to know the Pulse team, I saw they’re not only great people, but also more ambitious than ever, and that’s exactly the energy I love to be a part of.”
After graduating from the National Film and Television School (NFTS), Day scored a British Arrow Gold award for his student work, propelling him into the commercial space, and has since made his name with ads for the likes of Nike, Gucci, Adidas, Honda, and BT Sport. His work has been recognized by the Clios, Promax, The Royal Television Society, Creative Circle and more. Prior to joining Pulse, Day had most recently been repped in the U.K. by Outsider.
In March 2024 Netflix released Day’s latest feature documentary, Battle of The Baddest, chronicling the run up to the boxing showdown between WBC champion Tyson Fury and MMA legend Francis Ngannou. Day’s next feature documentary, Undisputed, premieres on Netflix this autumn. Day’s films consistently bring the audience to the heart of the action while championing the truth behind the characters on screen.
Jamie Walker, managing director at Pulse Films, said of Day, “His work is powerful, pushing the boundaries of documentary filmmaking into commercials whilst maintaining authenticity, combined with craft and the raw energy required to create impact every time.”
Pulse is part of VICE Media’s Studios Group, which encompasses premium and award-winning production companies. The Studios Group lineup also includes UnTypical, VICE Studios LatAm, VICE Studios Canada as well as a licensing arm, VICE Distribution.

That changes in part two of the fourth season when, in her usual dramatic fashion, Emily heads to Italy. The cast, including Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Lucas Bravo, Ashley Park and Camille Razat, were all in Rome this week to premiere the new episodes releasing Thursday.

Although he rules out changing the title. "No, it's 'Emily in Paris,'" says Star. "But Emily can have experiences in other cities and I think Rome is a part of the show now. It really is." Barcelona comes into play this October when Collins makes her West End debut opposite Álvaro Morte of "Money Heist" in a stage thriller named after the Spanish city. Luckily, filming "Emily in Paris" in public places has helped give the actor the boost to become a leading lady on the stage. "It did give me a bit more confidence, an understanding of performing in front of a large crowd this year," Collins says. "It just ironically happened to be the year that I would then be doing theater right after." In a recent interview in Rome, Collins explains why it's the right time for her London stage debut and how filming in Rome allowed her to channel Audrey Hepburn's on-screen Italian adventure in "Roman Holiday."
