Film Construction NZ executive producer Belinda Bradley, and partner/director Perry Bradley say they are delighted to welcome Wilson to their roster of filmmakers.

“Tom’s work sparkles with inventive shot-making and comic timing,” says Belinda Bradley. “He’s an exciting filmmaker, a great communicator, and on top of that, he’s a lovely human.”

His advertising work includes projects for Netflix, Samsung, Vodafone, Orange, Coca-Cola and Red Bull, and he has shot documentary films for the BBC.

“Tom has long admired the creative ideas that flow from Australasia and looks forward to collaborating with some of the clever thinker-uppers down under.”

His recent feature, Matthew Mark Luke John, was nominated for Best Performance at London’s Raindance Film Festival 2019,and  took two prizes at the Los Angeles Film Awards and the main award at Stockholm.

His debut feature film, The Bucuresti Experiment, won Romania’s National Film Award for Best Documentary. His third feature, Dark Ages, will hit the festivals in 2023 and is produced by the Cannes and Berlinale-winner Corneliu Porumboiu.

A writer and graduate of Oxford University (Politics, Philosophy and Economics), he’s contributed to publications including Time Magazine, Dazed & Confused, The Times, The Guardian and The Economist.

“If that wasn’t enough,” says Belinda Bradley, “Tom is a multi-instrumentalist, DJ and record collector. He also spends lots of time tracking down the right music to fit each film.

“Tom has long admired the creative ideas that flow from Australasia and looks forward to collaborating with some of the clever thinker-uppers down under.”
