Early work and Rusalka Pictures
Ghost's first film, a short entitled Chalcedony: Little Death, was created in 2014. Their feature-length directorial debut came in 2017 with The Granary, which tells a semi-biographical story of Ghost's battle with Agoraphobia. This film was the first produced by Rusalka Pictures. Despite being the fourth attempt to create a feature-length film, it succeeded due to recycled props, a minimal crew, and a very low budget.

The Bastard Sword
The Bastard Sword is a medieval fantasy adventure film about an Excalibur-like weapon that can control a man's thoughts at a price. Written and directed by Ghost, it starred Xander Phillips, Seth Easterbrook, and Martyn Eade. The film had a modest theatrical release and received mostly positive reviews for its storytelling and visual appeal on a minimal budget.

The film's budget was extremely minimal, funded through Kickstarter, and cost approximately £2000. It made £3660, which was reinvested into its release.

Ravenstein Pavilion and Beyond
Ravenstein is the third feature film by Ghost and the first writing collaboration with Tom Walters. The film follows the plot and concept of a 1950s B movie with a modern-day edge, starring James McClusky and Nik Kaneti-Dimmer. It was released in October 2020.

Pavilion is the fourth feature film by Ghost, another collaboration with Tom Walters. The film follows a time-travel-based love story, starring Tim Van Den Berg and Pip Rose, and was released in October 2021.
