PRESSURE COOKER - a hot ticket!

• by Raphaela Neihausen, December 10, 2008

A completely sold out theater enthusiastically ate up PRESSURE COOKER, a film codirected by NY locals Jennifer Grausman and Mark Becker. Powers introduced the film by saying “this is a film that pulls at your heart strings.  And if you don’t feel moved, you have no heart.”  A high bar to set, but luckily most audience members were relieved to discover that they did have a heart. 

On the way out of the theater, one of our STF members caught a really sweet exchange between the film’s director Mark Becker and D.A. Pennebaker where Becker was telling Pennebaker how much Pennebaker’s films inspired him to get into documentary when he was a kid and Pennebaker was telling Becker how much he really loved the film (see photo below - Chris Hegedus, Mark Becker, D.A.
