About
Hello, I’m Tom Kingsley and I direct comedy, drama and comedy-drama. Amongst other things, I have a BAFTA and a cat that went viral. My action-comedy movie Deep Cover premiers at SXSW London this June, starring Orlando Bloom, Bryce Dallas Howard, Nick Mohammed, Paddy Considine, Sonoya Mizuno, Sean Bean and Ian McShane.
For TV, I’ve directed This is Going to Hurt, Stath Lets Flats, and Ghosts, all of which were nominated for at least one BAFTA, and then won between six and zero BAFTAs. Empire called my 60th Anniversary episode of Doctor Who “an instant classic… one of 2023’s finest hours of TV”, and the Guardian wrote that my Channel 4 hoax The Great British Miracle Meat was “flawlessly executed… one of the most audaciously satirical spoofs ever aired in the UK”.
I’ve co-directed two feature films with Will Sharpe, the first of which - Black Pond - won the Evening Standard’s Best Newcomer award, and the second of which - The Darkest Universe - didn’t.
Right now I’m directing a TV series for Disney+.
