Buring teams up with Johnson for the first time for new British movie Hyena, which is just the second feature film of the director's career.

And the actress had nothing but praise for the filmmaker, calling him 'incredibly clear' and 'calm' when working on set.

Speaking exclusively to us here at FemaleFirst, the actress said: "Extraordinary, I can't believe it. Some people are just natural storytellers and in different ways, some are actors, or go into writing or producing, or all of it.

"Gerard Johnson is definitely a director as he is incredibly clear about how he wants to tell his stories, he is very calm on set with both crew and actors and he never loses sight of what he wants to do.

"And that is amazing considering the amount of detail that this story has, there were no characters that were just brushed over, as he knew everything about every character, every detail, every strand and how it was all connected."

Hyena has sees Buring star alongside Peter Ferdinando, Stephen Graham, Neil Maskell, and Richard Dormer for a gritty drama about sex trafficking and police corruption.

And we are also going to be seeing plenty of Buring this year, as she also returned to the small screen this week with new BBC series Banished.

Buring has also completed work on movie Hot Property, which will see Max McGill make his feature film directorial debut.
