David Wilson is an eclectic storyteller who expertly weaves together rich, textured, character-filled worlds with inherent musicality, playfulness, and sophisticated execution. His cinematic, even operatic, sensibility infuses all his projects with joy and subversion, bringing a radical viewpoint that transcends the expected.  David’s diverse and storied career encompasses large-scale campaigns, genre-defining music videos, and captivating short films. His brand collaborations include Nike, Apple, Facebook, Etsy, Ikea, O2, Cadbury, Spotify, and LEGO. His work with artists such as Arctic Monkeys, Lady Gaga, David Guetta, Christine and the Queens, Tove Lo, Glass Animals, and Metronomy has solidified his status as a leading voice in music videos, while his ongoing creative partnerships with Arcade Fire and Tame Impala highlight his passion for the medium and its artistry. David has garnered numerous awards from international festivals and shows, including Cannes Lions, D&AD, Kinsale Sharks, Grammys, Berlin Music Video Awards, Creative Circle, MTV VMAs, EUROBEST, British Arrows, LIA, UKMVAs, and Saatchi & Saatchi’s New Directors Showcase.  David attended the University of Brighton for Illustration, where the conceptual course primed him for music videos and commercials, requiring quick responses based on limited briefs. It was during this time that he began making films, all self-taught. While most of his work remains film-driven, David’s start in the animation world brings his extensive knowledge in that field to his mixed-media work; he approaches his projects with an animator’s mindset, thinking graphically, methodically storyboarding, and creating animatics.  A native Brit, David resides in London, and when he’s not directing film projects, he’s curating vibrant live theater experiences.
