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."[4]
His 2013 film To Jennifer was filmed entirely using an iPhone.[5] His 2014 horror film Pernicious was described as "The Ring meets Hostel".[6]
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][7]
He directed the 2017 thriller Limelight.[8] In late 2017, he was reported to be directing supernatural revenge thriller Together, and in 2018 the psychological thriller Alone.[9][10]
He is Jewish.[11] His film Murder Anyone was adapted from his late dad's play.[12]
