Rest in Peace Dad (Keith Charles Bullock) - the kindest, most decent man you could ever hope to meet. And the most generous and supportive father I could ever ask for. Your humility, honesty and appreciation for the simple pleasures in life will always inspire me. You were a true gentleman who'll be sorely missed by Veronica, your loving family, your countless friends and the scoundrels who you helped right until your final day. 19-11-41 to 25-3-26
“Every director dreams of making a feature film worthy of being shown at Cannes and dissected by cinephiles on TikTok. This year, I had the honour of making two. I’d like to start by thanking my mother…”
- TikTok x Festival de Cannes, directed by Tim Bullock. Out now. See you on the red carpet…

#GoodAdsMatter Ad Makers’ Picks is back, and we are thrilled to have Tim Bullock @timscoundrel , Director & Co-founder of Scoundrel @scoundrel_films_projects , join us for this collaboration.
Tim Bullock is an acclaimed commercials director, known for his sharp comedy and narrative craft. A five-time winner of the Australian Directors’ Guild Award, he was named Director of the Year at CICLOPE Asia Pacific in 2025.
With experience across agencies and filmmaking, Tim has influenced modern advertising with bold ideas and leadership. His work includes Toyota HiLux ‘In a Pickle’, Heaps Normal ‘Stay Normal’, and the TikTok x Festival de Cannes campaign.
Today, we are spotlighting one of Tim’s favourite ad picks: the epic Canal+ “Closet” ad. Because sure, we are all storytellers, but when it comes to Canal+, there’s always a twist you never saw coming.
Directed by Matthijs van Heijningen, the ad is equal parts hilarious and epic as it kicks off with a medieval chase through the forest, knights in pursuit, a man diving into a river clutching a wooden block… you are instantly hooked. And then it slips out thet he’s just a lover hiding in the closet, caught by the husband while the wife watches from the bed.
The treatment is pure Canal+. It’s cinematic, over-the-top, and hilariously unexpected.
Among Tim’s other picks are:
𝘍𝘦𝘥𝘌𝘹 ‘𝘚𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘬’
𝘌𝘋𝘚 ‘𝘊𝘢𝘵 𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴’
(Link for all three picks in bio)
