James Cullen Bressack (born c.1992) is an American film producer, screenwriter and film director.[1] He is the son of Emmy Award-winning writer Gordon Bressack and voice actress Ellen Gerstell.[2][3]
His 2012 film Hate Crime, the story of a Jewish family being terrorized in their home by neo-Nazis, was banned in the UK in 2015 by the BBFC due to the "unremitting manner in which [it] focuses on physical and sexual abuse, aggravated by racist invective".[4]
His 2013 film To Jennifer was filmed entirely using an iPhone.[5]
In 2015 he started the Grit Film Works production company with Zack Ward, the two co-writing the films Bethany (directed by Bressack and starring Ward, Shannen Doherty and Tom Green) and Restoration (directed by Ward).[3][6]
