ROGUE Welcomes Tim Bullock
ROGUE has announced that acclaimed, admired and highly sought after director Tim Bullock, has joined their roster.
With an unrivalled reputation in drama and comedy, Tim makes films that make people feel something. In his own words he鈥檚 鈥渁ll about mining for a reaction - whether it be laughter or tears or inspiration鈥, and is a master of adopting a tone of voice and stylistic approach that suits the script and the message.
So why ROGUE for Tim? 鈥淭hroughout my time directing, Rogue has always been a name associated with rock-solid, quality work. I like that the company represents a breadth of directors with differing styles but all united by a high standard of work. Sam Brown is particularly inspiring to me. And what鈥檚 not to like about Kate Taylor? I鈥檝e been a long time fan of hers and I can鈥檛 wait to work with her.鈥
Kate Taylor, ROGUE MD and partner commented, 鈥淭im Bullock has a reel that oozes confidence and craft - that there are a few big chortles to be had, just makes it for me. I鈥檝e been a huge fan of his for years - so, naturally, I鈥檓 delighted that he鈥檚 chosen to come to Rogue - and no, I don鈥檛 need to go to Specsavers. I know exactly what I鈥檓 looking at when I look at his work. Genius! That鈥檚 what.鈥
Famously a 鈥榮uit鈥 in his previous life, Tim started out as a Corporate Recovery consultant for KPMG and then an account director at Saatchi & Saatchi before he began to fulfill his unleashed creativity directing short films. These shorts just kept winning awards so Tim jumped ship from the corporate world and landed fully in the world of directing.
Spotted by Adam & Eve鈥檚 founding partner, Ben Priest in 2010, Tim went on to direct the iconic 鈥楤rad & Dan鈥 campaign for Fosters that has run for 14 years making it one of the longest running beer campaigns in UK history.
Tim has received numerous awards at Cannes, The British Arrows and D&AD and is a four time winner of the Australian Director鈥檚 Guild Award for Best Direction in a Television Commercial. His commercial works include spots for Toyota (Hilux Bog), AAMI (Athletes), Specsavers (Fishing), and NZ Lottery (Armoured Truck).
