Pressman Film-Backed AI Pic ‘About a Hero,’ Starring ‘Corsage’s’ Vicky Krieps, Lands at DR Sales  (EXCLUSIVE)


Pressman Film-based AI revolutionary pic ‘About a Hero’ has landed at DR Sales ahead of Göteborg’s Nordic Film Market.

“Funnily enough”, continues the Polish-born helmer, “the script that [Kaspar] came up with is very self-reflective and probes deeply into the impact of technology on mortality and humanity.” At its core,” he explains, “is an investigation of the mysterious death of a smart appliance factory worker, that supposedly took his own life after being replaced by a machine.” “Werner Herzog has been a defining influence in my life since watching ‘Aguirre the Wrath of God’ in high school, and I had the opportunity to work for him, closely shooting the behind-the-scenes footage on my father Edward R. Pressman’s film ‘Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans.’ “Pressman Film has always supported the innovation of independent filmmakers and we’re very excited to continue this tradition with Piotr and a score of brilliant artists and fascinating interview subjects,” noted the producer of the upcoming reboot of “The Crow” starring Bill Skarsgård.
