James Cullen Bressack
James Cullen Bressack is an American producer, director, and screenwriter and son of three time Emmy-award winning writer Gordon Bressack and voice actress Ellen Gerstell. At the age of 18 he received critical attention from audiences and critics alike when he made his debut feature, My Pure Joy.
One to push boundaries, James followed up with the bold and unapologetic Hate Crime which forced audiences along for a brutal home invasion, the first found footage feature ever to be made in the style of having no cuts. The entire film plays out painfully in real time. It was promptly banned in the UK for its fearless story telling, one of three films to be banned in the last 25 years and remains so to this day.
Ahead of his time, he then started the To Jennifer series, the first feature film to be shot entirely on the iPhone 5. He produced the next three instalments.
The prolific filmmaker refused to slow down completing seven more features including Pernicious, 13-13-13, and Blood Lake, starring Shannen Doherty and Christopher Lloyd, which made James the youngest director to ever direct for television.
After writing and directing the haunting Bethany, a film that garnered rave reviews and limited theatrical release, James shifted his focus to producing. He has now produced forty-eight features including releases for Lionsgate and Cinedigm and is a member of both the PGA and SAG/AFTRA. His impressive body of work has won him numerous Best Picture and Best Director awards on the film festival circuit.
James has achieved all this at the age of 28 and refuses to slow down as he continues to push the envelop and make films no one thought possible. His last directorial feature, Beyond The Law, had a theatrical release that reunited Steven Seagal and DMX, and continues to be a best seller topping charts. He just completed producing two back to back films including the directorial debut and the follow up feature by punk rock legend, Glenn Danzig of the Misfits and Danzig, Verotika, based on the comic book series of the same name, and Death Rider In The House of Vampires, a vampire spaghetti western blood bath epic from the twisted mind of Danzig.
James shows no signs of stopping and delivers high quality films consistently.
