SYNOPSIS

When Morris Potashner, the little old grandpa, refuses to have the operation for his glaucoma-induced eye pressure and opts for an experimental marijuana treatment, that’s when the excitement begins. Much to the chagrin of Ida, his wife of fifty years, Morris attends and "outpatient self-help clinic" which turns out to be a multicultural senior citizens pot den. Within the den’s lush jungle of lava lamps, power-bongs and four insanely stoned out seniors, Morris discovers getting old isn’t quite as easy as getting high.

In 1994 the short film PRESSURE DROP exploded onto the independent film scene. Accepted to 18 film festivals worldwide (winning awards at Chicago, Columbus and New Orleans Film Festivals), PRESSURE DROP has become a cult classic. The film also screened in over 20 U.S. cities with the independently distributed feature film WEED.
