Making The Film

Director's Statement, Josh Bullock

Most of my documentaries are anthropological in nature and often centre on vanishing cultures across the world, from Gabon to Chile. As a journalist and filmmaker, I'm lucky enough to have met and worked with many of my heroes including Werner Herzog, Terry Gilliam, Jane Goodall and Tony Benn, as well as new stars like Ben Whishaw and Adam Driver. ​I love storytelling in several forms: writing articles, directing documentaries, music videos and short films. Until 2017, I was editor of the international arts and culture print magazine and video agency which I co-founded.
