James Cullen Bressack

James Cullen Bressack (born c. 1992 in Los Angeles, California) is an American film producer, screenwriter and film director. He is the son of Emmy Award-winning writer Gordon Bressack and voice actress Ellen Gerstell.

Career
Bressack's first feature film, My Pure Joy, was released in 2011. 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."

His 2013 film To Jennifer was filmed entirely using an iPhone. His 2014 horror film Pernicious was described as "The Ring meets Hostel".

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).

He directed the 2017 thriller Limelight. In late 2017, he was reported to be directing supernatural revenge thriller Together, and in 2018 the psychological thriller Alone.

He is Jewish. His film Murder Anyone was adapted from his late dad's play.
