With a particular affinity for cinematic realism, Dunlop's work is richly detailed, layered with authenticity, beauty and often intrigue, and her work has been recognised by Cannes Lions, British Arrows, D&AD, Creative Circle and LIA.
Dunlop’s coming-of-age short film Dreamlands, about the pressures on young women in a hyper-sexualised, image-obsessed society, was officially selected as the only UK short in competition at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, as well as Brooklyn Film Festival’s Best Narrative Short. In the interview she discusses how the strangeness of Wim Wenders' Paris, Texas inspired her, why a particular Guinness spot [no, not Surfer] sticks in her head, and how Ringan Ledwidge had such an impact on her career.
In tomorrow's Six Things About... we'll be hearing from acclaimed director, Martin Werner.
