Soderbergh helped to define independent film in the late 80’s and early 90’s and now has over 40 directorial credits to his name. His sound/visual editing skills tip many of his films into a higher level of cinema. One of my favorite books about making movies is Soderbergh’s Sex, Lies and Videotape - it contains the genesis and evolution of SL&V as well as many behind the scene photos and notes about his process.
