Long-hidden family secrets converge with a true crime investigation in this story of a part-time ghosthunter and his two-decade search for answers in western Sydney.

This is the story of Jason King, a security guard in Sydney’s western suburbs by day who conducts paranormal investigations throughout the area by night. Jason, the survivor of trauma, is driven to discover the truth behind his father’s longtime absence. This search for the truth, however, brings him up close and personal with a dark legacy.

Ghosthunter is the compelling debut feature for acclaimed Australian photographer, commercial and short-film director Ben Lawrence. Having won numerous awards for his work both at home and abroad, Lawrence has made a truly unique documentary that navigates otherworldly mysteries alongside very real trauma and abuse. Featuring stunning big-screen cinematography from Hugh Miller (Sherpa, MIFF 2015; Three Blind Mice, MIFF 2008), Ghosthunter is an Australian documentary like no other.
