Steven Pressman is renowned for his outstanding work in documentary filmmaking, particularly in the realm of historical and biographical storytelling. Among his most notable projects is the 2013 documentary "50 Children: The Rescue Mission of Mr. and Mrs. Kraus", which showcases the remarkable true story of a couple's courageous efforts to save the lives of 50 Jewish children during the Holocaust.
Additionally, Pressman has also directed "The Levys of Monticello" (2022),a documentary that delves into the fascinating history of Thomas Jefferson's slaves and their descendants. The film provides a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of the complex and often fraught relationships between enslaved individuals and their enslavers.
Furthermore, Pressman's upcoming documentary, "Moses Ezekiel: Portrait of a Lost Artist" (2024),promises to be a captivating and emotionally resonant tribute to the life and work of Moses Ezekiel, a talented and enigmatic sculptor who rose to prominence during the mid-19th century.
