Sam Pressman on a new crowdfunding model he hopes will continue the legacy of Pressman Film. His father, producer Ed Pressman, worked on some of the greatest films of the last 50 years.
Ed Pressman was one of Hollywood's most impressive producers — a man who worked on films from American Psycho to The Crow to Wall Street to cult classics like The Phantom of the Paradise and Bad Lieutenant. His son Sam Pressman took over Pressman Films when his father died last year at 79.
Sam Pressman has bold ideas about how to keep making daring films, and one of those ideas is turning to a favorite practice of scrappy DIY filmmakers, crowdfunding. But why is a business known for making classics the old-fashioned way turning to online investors?
Sam Pressman explains his new approach — and tells us some great stories.
