Link to the Show / Show NotesThere aren't many directors who get to be called "cool" as often as Mr. Steven Soderbergh. But the de facto chronicler of the new Rat Pack didn't start that way. Before Ocean's 11 (12 and 13), he was best known for a little indie film called Sex, Lies, and Videotape. That movie's frank dialogue and personal filmmaking style helped secure the power of Sundance and the rise of independent filmmakers everywhere. But Soderbergh also has some interest in how films are made, including the cameras and actors he uses - or if he should even use traditional cameras or actors.
In the nearly twenty years since he burst onto the scene, Soderbergh has become a new icon of American filmmaking.
