There’s a story we always tell. A hip sixties Chelsea photographer (you see him, don’t you?) gets a flat tyre outside our building, right where you walk in. Peers through a grimy window. Looks at long-unused, Victorian suburban horse stables. ‘That could be my studio’ he thinks, which then happens — this being the sixties.
So The Rolling Stones swing by and hazily have their photo taken. Then photography turns into film-making and a string of commercials, from then until now. Palme d’Ors and Black Pencils happening along the way. And then more new directors, more new parties, more new art. And now, we’re now. Today. Here. And this story *really*, actually, begins with you and what you want to do. And this is the story we’ve always been telling.
EVENTS
We were proud to sponsor and host the recent Matchbox Film Awards in The Stables, celebrating the next generation of filmmaking talent. This brilliant initiative, created by our friends at Gusto, empowers young creatives as they embark on their journey in the industry.
NEW WORK
2024 has been quite the chapter for Park Village. We’ve collaborated with brilliant minds, crafted exceptional work, hosted some incredible shoots and events and—drumroll, please—released not one but two long-form narrative films. A cinematic milestone, considering our last foray into this realm won us a BAFTA, precisely 50 years ago. Yes, fifty. Half a century of storytelling, all from this delightful building we call home. So, to celebrate this golden moment, we made a little film. Think of it as a love letter to creativity, nostalgia, and the decades we’ve spent making magic here.
