Career
[edit]Early work and Rusalka Pictures
[edit]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.[1]
The Bastard Sword
[edit]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.[2]
The film's budget was extremely minimal, funded through Kickstarter, and cost approximately £2000.[3] It made £3660, which was reinvested into its release.[4]
Ravenstein Pavilion and Beyond
[edit]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.[5]
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.[6]
Eveshka is also the author of the Book "Shooting on a Shoestring: The Hopes and Horrors of No-Budget Filmmaking"[7] a book inspired as a "self help" book for first time filmmakers.
