The London-based director known for his style, speed and distinctive voice joins the roster.
Park Pictures London welcomes Tyrus to their roster for UK and Amsterdam representation.
Tyrus makes high concept, surreal, funny, fast and furious films that speak to British youth culture. His technical innovation and stylistic flair is rooted in a deep authenticity that gives his work weight and edge. He brings a fresh and sharp perspective to the Park Pictures London roster of boundary pushing voices.
“It’s a real privilege to join a company with such a rich filmmaking history. Park has an incredible roster and is such a close-knit team, it feels like the perfect home to keep pushing myself creatively. Lots to live up to and plenty to look forward to” says Tyrus.
A three-time UKMVA nominee, Tyrus has built his name collaborating with the likes of Skepta, Sammy Virji, Knucks and Slawn, who he travelled to Lagos with to shoot the Nike x Nigeria x Slawn collab. For Skepta and Sammy Virgi’s Cops and Robbers music video he recreated a stylised surveillance sequence breaking the fourth wall and pulling the audience into the chase.
"Tyrus is one of those directors you just want to be around. He brings great energy and untapped skill to the team. We are thrilled to have him join us, and the Sports Direct Christmas launch is a fantastic project to kick things off." Says Fran Thompson MD at Park Pictures.
Tyrus brings his music video and fashion energy into his commercial work. His comical Wingstop spot It’s Hot and That’s Cold went viral reaching over five million views on instagram and he has worked on campaigns for Nike, Adidas, Puma, Diesel, cementing him as one to watch in the industry.
