Ben Stookesberry is a 33-years-old gonzo kayaker, who makes his home in Chico, CA. Ben was baptized into Mountainfilm in Telluride's extended family of adventurers when the film he directed, "Kadoma," premiered at the festival in May. Festival director David Holbrooke chose to feature "Kadoma" when Mountainfilm on Tour headlines at the Walter Reade Theatre, Lincoln Center, this weekend, Friday, October 21 – Sunday, October 23. 
"The Apple Pushers," kicks off the weekend, when Mountainfilm in Telluride returns to the Big Apple, October 21 – October 23, for an encore program at Lincoln Center's Walter Reade Theatre.
"Apple Pushers" is not about the friendly folks who sell bites out of the technological magic "The magician" (The Economist, October 8 – 14), Steven Jobs conjured. The documentary features a whole other category of vendors.
"The Apple Pushers," written and directed by Mary Mazzio, narrated by Edward Norton, and underwritten by the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund, follows immigrant street vendors who roll fresh fruits and vegetables into the inner cities of New York, where finding a fresh red ripe apple can be a serious challenge. These pushcart vendors, who have immigrated here from all parts of the world are now part of a new experiment in New York to help solve the food crisis and skyrocketing obesity rates, particularly in the inner city.
