Making a movie on a small budget is a labour of love. "The Ghost" is one such production. It has a brilliant script, and a dedicated cast and crew. It also has a producer who has little love for film.

Despite all the obstacles, the movie is coming together. But the script is based on actual historical characters, there is unfinished business casting a shadow down the centuries, and — as the film's tag line says — "Vengeance Never Dies."

"Filming the Ghost" is an atmospheric tale of creativity under pressure, a love of the cinema, and how some sins cannot be forgiven or forgotten.
