Park Village adds Pete Henderson
)
Park Village welcomes comedy director Pete Henderson to the roster and UK market.
Production company Park Village have signed comedy director Pete Henderson for representation in the UK and Europe.
Henderson is an award-winning and revered comedy director with a plethora of outstanding work for some of the world’s biggest brands. He likes to call his unique style ‘quiet comedy’, where cinematic and beautifully observed performances get struck with left-field curve balls to deliver hilarious punchlines. Henderson rocks normality with the unexpected, knowing how to land perfect comedy timing and compelling storytelling.
Henderson’s directing has gained notoriety for campaigns for the likes of Coca Cola, McDonald’s, General Motors and Panasonic. In his first year directing, he won Saatchi & Saatchi’s Best New Director and was featured in their New Director Showcase at Cannes.
His many awards include the coveted Best of Show/Gold for Online Film at the Marketing Awards. Running concurrently with advertising Henderson likes to write and make short films (alongside refurbishing old abandoned lamps). He also participates in podcasts, screenwriting and teaching as a way of rounding out his commercial career.
Adam Booth, Managing Partner & EP said: “Burn him. He’s a witch. Or perhaps a comedy wizard. Either way, Pete’s sharp wit and knack for character performances is a fantastic addition to the growing PV roster. Having found success shooting for a raft of well-known brands in the US, we’re excited to introduce him exclusively to the UK.”
Leonie Ellis, Business Development & EP adds: "I love Pete’s naughty tone of comedy. His observed, characterful builds are masterfully crafted, setting up punchlines with rug pulls that u-turn narratives wonderfully and make ideas sing. Along with Cameron Harris, he’s another delicious and experienced dollop of fresh comedy to the UK market. I’m sure his wit will resonate, and I can’t wait to see what he creates here."
Pete Henderson said: "As my first foray into the UK, I am so excited to join Park Village because their roster is so world-class. The work, that amazing work. All of it so inspiring, and the company itself so multifaceted and dynamic, I don't know where one project starts and another finish.... the creativity is kaleidoscopic. I'm looking forward to the ride."
