Park Pictures has signed filmmaker and photographer Lucy Sandler for U.S. representation spanning commercials, branded content and music videos.
Most recently she directed and wrote the short film The Weight of a Dog, which follows a recent retiree chaperoning her adult daughter to an abortion. The Weight of a Dog is currently on the festival circuit.
It adds to a body of work which includes films for brands such as Ford and Starface that Sandler helmed solo. Previously as part of the directing collective sportscar, she turned out content for clients including Puma, Hennessy, Spotify and Lancome. Sandler often collaborates with A-list celebrities like Sydney Sweeney, Zendaya, and Billie Eilish to create memorable commercial campaigns.
And in the indie music scene, Sandler has garnered ample recognition, including an MVPA win as Best Newcomer based on her work on the music video “Gum” for Ill Peach. Also well received was her directing of “Hush” for Ill Peach, which stars a chorus of rodent animatronics.
Sandler said, “When I think of Park, I think of quiet excellence. I have always admired their roster as a sacred pocket of talented filmmakers bringing their narrative talents to the commercial space. When I started to meet the team, it was no surprise that they were also humble, good human beings. I’m excited for this next chapter..”
Scott Howard, sr. executive producer of Park Pictures, commented, “Lucy’s an incredible director with a fresh point of view that we were immediately attracted to. Her work is undeniably compelling, drawing you in with high-contrast imagery and imperceptibly tapping into your emotional life. Everyone at Park and I can’t wait to see what’s next for Lucy.”
Prior to joining Park Pictures, Sandler was handled by production company Florence in the U.S. ad market. She is repped in Canada by Denim.
