UK Directors Guild hold a private screening at The Mayfair Hotel

An amazing audience of over 200 directors.

It was an honour to screen the film in London at The Mayfair Hotel in front of an audience of 200+ directors. The best audience response yet (Directors love hearing other Directors' nightmare stories).

The event was hosted by Piers Haggard OBE, another Sellers director with his own nightmare story, which made for a hilarious Q&A.

Ghost included on IMDb Senior Editor’s top 25 films of 2018 Press

Ghost included on IMDb Senior Editor’s top 25 films of 2018

IMDb's Senior Editor, Keith Simanton has included The Ghost of Peter Sellers in his list of the top 25 movies of 2018 on IMDb. He had this to say about our film:

"Not since Lost in La Mancha have I seen anything so heartbreaking as this behind-the-scenes expose of a Peter Sellers/Peter Medak film that was shot but then shelved in 1973. Ghost ups the ante over La Mancha, however, by having the man at the center of the matter, Medak, directing, narrating, exorcising the guilt over a truly insane shoot, and laying to rest his animosity towards a troubled genius 45 years after the fact.".
