Award-winning director Joe Bullman discusses his journey from documentaries to factual drama, culminating in the making of 'Dirty Business', with star of the series Craig Parkinson.
Join us for an exclusive conversation with award-winning director Joe Bullman, exploring his evolution from documentary filmmaking into acclaimed factual drama. Beginning his career in documentaries before directing landmark dramas including Partygate and, most recently, Dirty Business, Bullman will discuss the creative and ethical challenges of bringing real world stories to the screen. The session will unpack how documentary approaches to research, authenticity and storytelling can produce television that connects deeply with audiences, something mainstream drama increasingly struggles to do.
Asking the questions will be actor Craig Parkinson (Misfits, Line of Duty, Partygate, Killed by My Debt, Dirty Business). Craig will offer insight into Joe’s working methods and how they differ from those of ‘drama’ directors.
