There's a very good reason why Kenny Glenaan knows just how to get what he wants from the actors he works with - he used to be an actor himself.

"The company I worked for encouraged all actors in story-telling. Moving into telly was an extension of that - a different way of telling a story."

Kenny decided to study directing and although he had to start from the bottom, things swiftly took off. After doing a couple of short films and a stint on soap opera, Kenny left his mark on episodes of Eastenders, Hope and Glory and City Central. He first worked with World on the police drama, The Cops, then on the .com series Attachments.

He recently directed the critically acclaimed Gas Attack, about the effects of an anthrax outbreak in a group of asylum seekers.

Buried is one step further in the justice system compared to The Cops and it's moved on stylistically, too.

"The Cops was done in a documentary style, exclusively from the police point of view. The camera was like an invisible policeman. It would always go in with the police, never ahead of them."

"Buried is slightly different in that, stylistically, it still has an observational style but it is like the view of a lifer - not surprised by anything that happens. All-seeing, all-knowing, very wry. It can be ahead of the action. There are also some quite fantastical dream sequences with a lot of hightened realism."
