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 focuses on physical and sexual abuse, aggravated by racist invective."

In 2015 he started the Grit Film Works production company with Zack Ward, the two co-writing the films Bethany and Restoration.
