This is our BBC

Director Libby Burke Wilde’s work spans striking narrative commercials and films alongside cinematic, emotionally driven documentaries. Motivated by the power of storytelling to drive social change, her work immerses audiences in new worlds and subcultures, often translating human stories into engaging portraits and narratives that shine a light on socially complex topics. 

After directing her first short film METTLE in 2019, Libby went on to direct the acclaimed short film ABSENT in partnership with period poverty charity Freedom4Girls, which received widespread recognition, including Best Film for Change at the BAFTA- and BIFA-qualifying Bolton Film Festival, Gold at Kinsale Sharks and two Silver Screen Awards at the Cannes Young Directors Awards. More recently, she directed a series of intimate short films for the BBC and released EARLY TWENTIES, a cinematic interpretation of Cat Burns’ coming-of-age album.
