After graduating from the University of Southern California filmschool, Bishop took the profits he made from his short film Voodoo and financed his first feature film The Other Side himself with $15,000. The supernatural action/thriller starred Jaimie Alexander in her first leading role and premiered at the Slamdance Film Festival in Park City, Utah where it was picked up for a 2007 theatrical release. In 2008, Bishop began developing the movie as a TV series at Fox Television Studios.

Bishop directed and produced Dance of the Dead in 2008, starring Jared Kusnitz, Lucas Till, Blair Redford, Laura Slade Wiggins and Justin Welborn. The movie had its World Premiere at the SXSW Film Festival and was hand-picked by Director Sam Raimi for distribution through Lions Gate Entertainment and Ghost House Pictures. Ain't It Cool News hailed the movie as "a cult classic" and Bloody-Disgusting called it "one of the best horror comedies ever made that will be remembered for years to come".

In 2011, Bishop wrote and directed The Birds of Anger starring Jaimie Alexander for NBCUniversal G4Films. The film was based on the best-selling mobile game, Rovio's Angry Birds, told in the style of the 1963 film The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock.

Bishop wrote and directed a segment called "Dante The Great" for the third installment of the highly acclaimed V/H/S franchise called V/H/S: Viral (2014) which hit theaters November 21, 2014.

In 2016 Bishop directed the feature film SiREN, which is an adaptation of the V/H/S segment "Amateur Night" by David Bruckner. It was released in theaters by Universal Pictures and Chiller Films and stars Chase Williamson, Justin Welborn, and Hannah Fierman as Lily. Ain't It Cool News called it a "rock solid Monster movie with a strong ensemble cast" and Los Angeles Times hailed it a "clever and confident expansion of a terrific short."
