Jackdaw Director On Going Full Throttle With His Debut Feature & Lessons Learned From Doctor Who

One would never expect that Jackdaw was filmmaker Jamie Childs’ feature film directorial debut, given how well-executed the thriller is, but he’s got his long and storied history in television to thank for that. Childs has worked on several beloved genre shows, including Doctor Who, Netflix’s recent adaptation of The Sandman, and HBO’s highly-regarded His Dark Materials. And yet, Jackdaw is much more straightforward in its storytelling than any of them, while still managing to be equally as engaging.
