Blinkink Signs Will Wightman for Global Representation

Director Will Wightman has signed to Blinkink for global representation. 

Will caught Blinkink's attention at last year’s BFI Future Film Fest, taking home Best Director for his graduation piece Heart Failure. The film was also showcased at Cannes Lions and has been widely acclaimed for its unique narrative, electric expressionism and banging original soundtrack. 

Last year he joined the company as a director’s assistant. Since then he’s directed his first commercial project for animal rights charity, PETA, released last week.

The talented 23 year old wrote and directed his debut short, Heart Failure during lockdown. He sees himself as an “uncompromisingly Gen-Z filmmaker”, wanting to provide a sympathetic look at his own generation. Other inspirations stem from a love for “the high energy storytelling language of music videos and commercials”, and you can see how this combination has been key in the development of his own unique style.
