Tim Bullock goes Rogue

Production company Rogue has announced that director Tim Bullock, has joined its roster. 

With a reputation for work in drama and comedy, Bullock, says Rogue, "makes films that make people feel something". In the director's own words he is “all about mining for a reaction - whether it be laughter, or tears, or inspiration”.

“Throughout my time directing, Rogue has always been a name associated with rock-solid, quality work," added Bullock, on his decision to join the production house. "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’s not to like about [Rogue MD] Kate Taylor? I’ve been a long time fan of hers and I can’t wait to work with her.” 

"I like that the company represents a breadth of directors with differing styles, but all united by a high standard of work."

“Tim Bullock has a reel that oozes confidence and craft - that there are a few big chortles to be had, just makes it for me," said Taylor. "I’ve been a huge fan of his for years so, naturally, I’m delighted that he’s chosen to come to Rogue. And, no, I don’t need to go to Specsavers. I know exactly what I’m looking at when I look at his work. Genius! That’s what.” 

A ‘suit’ in his previous life, Bullock started out as a Corporate Recovery consultant for KPMG, then became an Account Director at Saatchi & Saatchi, before he began to fulfil his unleashed creativity directing short films. These shorts win a number of awards, so Bullock moved from the corporate world, landing fully in the world of directing. 

Spotted in 2010 by adam&eveDDB’s founding partner, Ben Priest, Bullock went on to direct the iconic ‘Brad & Dan’ campaign for Fosters that has run for 14 years making it one of the longest running beer campaigns in UK history.

Bullock has received numerous awards at Cannes, The British Arrows and D&AD, and is a four-time winner of the Australian Director’s Guild Award for Best Direction in a Television Commercial. His commercial works include spots for Toyota, AAMI, Specsavers, and NZ Lottery.
