Karl Neilson (born 1971 in Liverpool) is a Britishtelevision director.
He left school and started work as a van driver for an electrical goods company in Southport. Harbouring an ambition to be a director, he returned to education at the Liverpool Community College. He won a place on the Media Production Bachelor of Arts course at Bournemouth University, and graduated with first class honours in 1996.
Neilson's television career began as an assistant director on EastEnders back in 1998.[1] Alongside EastEnders, he was also the assistant director for Silent Witness.[2] It was then in September 2001 that Neilson appeared officially in the credits as a director, when he directed his first episode of EastEnders.[3] In 2004, a double episode set in the launderette with Dot Cotton telling Den Watts she had cancer won a TV Moments award, named as 'Best Popular Drama Moment' of 2004.[4]
As well as directing for the BBC, he has also directed episodes of The Bill and Family Affairs for TalkbackThames. In 2008 he began directing the new series of Minder for FIVE[5][6] which was later axed due to poor viewing figures.[7]
En 2015, EastEnders celebró su trigésimo aniversario con una Semana en Vivo . Neilson dirigió los episodios de la semana en vivo junto con el episodio de flashback. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] [ 10 ] Al comentar sobre la dirección de la dramática culminación de la semana, Neilson dijo: "Como director, es un regalo absoluto de una semana, porque es una historia donde la audiencia busca continuamente significado en cada línea y cada reacción. Por eso, estaba decidido a obtener interpretaciones muy específicas que guiaran la historia como yo quería que se guiara a lo largo de la semana". [ 11 ]
