He wrote and filmed “Rikky and Pete”, shot both “The Outsiders” for Francis Ford Coppola and “Pure Luck” for Universal Studios, and produced and lensed the three hour mini-series “Stark” for the BBC based on Ben Elton’s novel.
Parker has directed two feature films, “Diana and Me” and “Hercules Returns” and directs commercials, most notably the Vodafone campaign with Michael Richards (Kramer) and the AFL “I’d like to see that” campaign with Ray Charles, Shaquille O’Neill, Elton John & Christy Turlington.
