Getting his start producing lms with American director Paul Williams in the UK, Edward R. Pressman set the tone for his lmmaker-driven, globally-minded independent lm career. With more than 80 titles to his credit now, Pressman continues to make lms with an indie edge, while also keeping his eye on opportunities in foreign markets. Pressman established a New York-based production hub with Williams in the late 1960s and bankrolled their rst productions with support from his family’s toy business. After Williams decided to stop making lms, Pressman continued to produce. Over the years, he has helped launch the careers of an eclectic range of directors. The maverick producer made early lms by Brian De Palma, Terrence Malick, Oliver Stone, Kathryn Bigelow, Alex Proyas, and crossover talents such as musician David Byrne (True Stories, 1986), among others. Pressman has had ongoing collaborations with many, particularly with Stone: He produced Stone’s feature debut, horror-thriller The Hand (1981), followed by Wall Street (1987), Talk Radio (1988), and sequel Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010). Pressman and Stone have worked together as producers on multiple lms, such as Bigelow’s Blue Steel (1989) and Barbet Schroeder’s Reversal of Fortune (1990). Stone also co-wrote Conan the Barbarian (1982), which he developed with the producer. Pressman has also collaborated many times with Abel Ferrara, starting with his cult lm Bad Lieutenant (1992). Pressman and Malick continue to make lms together through their Sunower Productions label. So far, Sunower has yielded ve projects marked by evocative imagery and global talent and subjects: Ethiopian runner Haile Gebrselassie biopic Endurance (1999), Zhang Yimou’s comedy Happy Times (2000), Hans Petter Moland’s Vietnam GI child drama The Beautiful Country (2004), David Gordon Green’s thriller Undertow (2004), and Michael Apted’s transatlantic slave trade period drama Amazing Grace (2006). Pressman’s eponymous production label continues to churn out lmmaker-driven projects spanning various genres. And the producer is also making the most out of his prior successes with new lms and television series inspired by iconic lms from the Pressman library.
