Identity Lost (2001, genre: mystery and thriller) and Butterfly dreams (2000, genre: short movie) were his first two films that were written and directed by him. Both weren’t very successful. Following these were the Saw movies, starting with Saw II (2005) and ending at Saw IV (2007).
He started directing the Saw films when his initial idea for the movie ‘The Desperate’ failed to get made. The studios he pitched it to said it was too violent and the narrative was too similar to ‘Saw’. James Wan and Leigh Whannell (the writers of Saw) heard about this and asked Bousman on the day Saw came out in cinemas whether he was interested in using the story as a baseline for Saw II- Bousman said yes and was signed on to direct the movie. Because of the movies success, Bousman was signed to direct Saw III and Saw IV (although for Saw IV he didn’t think that he would have the time because of the musical Repo! the Genetic Opera- which he needed to prepare for.
He directed the music video for ‘Mudyayne’- “Forget to Remember,” which became the main song on the soundtrack for Saw II.
He is currently working on ‘Wichita,’- produced by Twisted Pictures and Dimension Films- since he signed a deal with Harvey Weinstein’s new company.
