SAM PRESSMAN has ushered in Pressman Film’s exciting new-era of growth and success through his long-standing relationships with talent, industry insiders and an expansive independent financing network. Immersed in the motion picture business from a young age, he is humbled and emboldened by the responsibility of carrying the mantle of his family’s 50 years in filmmaking. Before assuming the role of CEO, Sam worked under his father Ed Pressman on Werner Herzog’s BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS, Matt Brown’s THE MAN WHO KNEW INFINITY, Barry Levinson’s PATERNO—and alongside Ed on Keith Maitland’s DEAR MR BRODY, Charlotte Colbert’s SHE WILL, Mary Harron’s DALILAND, Marshmallow Laser Feast’s groundbreaking VR-experience EVOLVER, and Rupert Sander’s reboot of THE CROW. Sam most recently produced Gus Van Sant’s DEAD MAN’S WIRE and Takashi Miike’s BAD LIEUTENANT: TOKYO. Sam graduated from Stanford University where he majored in Film & Media Studies and was the president of the Stanford Film Society and head of the Advanced Film Workshop.
