    Park Pictures Signs Director Caroline Koning For U.S. Representation

    Caroline Koning
    LOS ANGELES --

    Director Caroline Koning has signed with Park Pictures for U.S. representation. The self-taught writer and director’s approach to commercial filmmaking is shaped by her experience within fashion and the agency world. Her extensive portfolio of work speaks to Koning’s voracious appetite for creative subjects and genres alike.

    Koning’s first collaborative venture under the banner of Park Pictures was with Goodby Silverstein & Partners for the Women’s World Cup. Before signing, she worked with several high-profile brands, including Nike, Loewe, i-D, Wrangler, Etsy, and Roberto Cavalli. Koning’s films are rich with vibrant experimental landscapes and stylized realism. Prior to joining Park Pictures, she had most recently repped by production house Superprime.

    Her first film, “Love Stories – Bo,” was featured in Nowness and earned the title of staff pick, setting the stage for a career focused on crafting stylish, visually stunning content. Since then, Koning has won several awards as a filmmaker, including a D&AD Wood Pencil, several ADCN Lamps, a Clio, and a Webby. Koning is dedicated to advocacy and creating a more equitable environment for her colleagues. She has served as a Dutch local ambassador for Free The Work from 2018-2022 and continues to mentor and support up-and-coming creatives.

    Koning said, “Park creates incredible work, and I couldn’t be more excited to join their amazing roster. There’s lots of shared values between us, both ethically and artistically, so there was an instant sense of coming home. I’m thrilled that we’ve already hit the ground running, and I look forward to many more collaborations to come.”

    “Caroline’s work is as beautiful as it is emotionally captivating,” said Jackie Kelman Bisbee, founding partner of Park Pictures. “We value excellence in craft and professional integrity; Caroline’s got that in spades. We’re elated to have such a renowned global talent on our roster and can’t wait to connect her with more opportunities in the U.S.”

    “No Good Men” and “Only Rebels Win” Bring Love From Unexpected Places To Berlin Film Fest

    Thursday, February 12, 2026

    A surprising and touching Afghan political rom-com that is said to feature the first ever on-screen kiss in an Afghan movie opens the 76th Berlin Film Festival Thursday.

    Set in a Kabul newsroom in 2021, with the Taliban on the cusp of returning to power, "No Good Men" tells the workplace love story of camerawoman Naru, separated from her cheating husband and struggling to keep custody of her young son while trying to build a career in a male dominated industry and patriarchal society.

    Director Shahrbanoo Sadat said the kissing scene cost her lead actor three weeks before shooting began, and forced her to step into the role herself.

    "The joke was everyone who wanted to play Naru, they didn't want to do the kissing, I wanted to do the kissing, I didn't want to do the rest of the film," Sadat said.

    And it wasn't just the casting that was met with resistance. The Afghan film industry is small, she said, so the expectation is that the movie will be "good PR" for the country.

    Sadat had her own ideas, though.

    "I love Afghanistan, but I cannot close my eyes to patriarchy, sexism, all the big topics, and just say the good things about Afghanistan, so I'm disappointing my people," she said.

    Making an Afghan film in Europe, with European funding, she also felt added pressure to be a political and feminist filmmaker or make a war movie.

    Sadat received multiple letters of complaint from funders who said it was inappropriate for them to support a rom-com given the political situation in Afghanistan.

    "For me it was like, wait a minute, what? I feel offended that you feel offended about my project," she said. "I'm coming from a war country, and this is my way of expressing myself, to go through the oceans of... Read More
