In 2024, Tullen produced and directed Hanna Kinsella: Little Smiles, which investigated the children’s oral health crisis in the United Kingdom.[3] The film was presented by The Real Housewives of Cheshire star Hanna Kinsella and received coverage for highlighting the lack of public access to NHS dental care.[4][5]
His documentary The AI Face Trade was released in 2025.

In 2026, Tullen produced and directed Generation Lonely, a documentary exploring the loneliness epidemic rife among Gen Z, and the alarming use of AI chatbots like ChatGPT as a coping mechanism.[11][12][13][14]
In May 2026, it was announced that Tullen would produce and present a new YouTube format titled Disclosed, described as an investigative "internet sleuthing" series.[15][16] The first episode investigated AI-generated health misinformation and online content farms that distribute misleading health advice.[17]
