Steven Soderbergh
Steven Soderbergh not only works behind the camera as a director, but behind the
scenes as a producer for a variety of projects. In 2000, Soderbergh and George
Clooney formed Section Eight, a film production company based at Warner Bros.
that executive produced "Far From Heaven," written and directed by Todd Haynes.
The critically acclaimed homage to 1950s melodrama stars Julianne Moore and
Dennis Quaid. Last year, Section Eight released three additional films:
"Confessions of a Dangerous Mind," directed by and starring George Clooney, with
an ensemble cast including Sam Rockwell, Drew Barrymore and Julia Roberts;
"Insomnia," directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Al Pacino, Robin Williams
and Hilary Swank; and "Welcome to Collinwood," written and directed by brothers
Anthony and Joe Russo. The ensemble comedy's cast includes William H. Macy,
Isaiah Washington, Luis Guzman, Jennifer Esposito, Sam Rockwell and Clooney.
Currently they are in production on "Criminal," directed by Gregory Jacobs and
starring John C. Reilly, Diego Luna and Maggie Gyllenhaal. Jacobs and
Soderbergh wrote the script, which is based on the screenplay by Fabian Bielinsky.
Soderbergh's other credits as producer include Greg Mottola's "The Daytrippers"
and Gary Ross' "Pleasantville." He was executive producer on Scott McGhee's
"Suture," and Godfrey Reggio's "Naqoyqatsi," the final installment of the non-
narrative films that make up the Qatsi Trilogy, beginning with "Koyaanisqatsi" and
"Powaqqatsi".
