STEVEN SODERBERGH VIDEO ESSAY

Steven Soderbergh does everything. He can write, direct, shoot, edit and more— and he does it all in a wide variety of genres and styles. Magic Mike, Black Bag, Ocean's 11, Erin Brockovich, Out of Sight, Sex Lies and Videotape: incredibly, this is all the doings of one guy. So what are the through lines that connect his work, when his work is so varied? Today, we dive into all things Soderbergh, the king of the indie and the master at always keeping us guessing.

STEVEN SODERBERGH STYLE

Soderbergh is known for constantly changing things up. Instead of sticking to one look or way of telling a story, he treats every project like a new experiment. He plays with different visual styles, editing rhythms, and narrative structures, always looking for fresh ways to present a story. What makes him stand out isn’t a signature style but the fact that he’s always pushing himself to try something different.

STEVEN SODERBERGH TIPS

Soderbergh is famously hands-on. He often shoots and edits his own projects, which lets him move quickly and keep full control over the final result. He loves efficiency—smaller crews, lighter gear, and fast turnarounds. He’s also been an early adopter of new technology, using whatever tools let him work more freely and stay flexible on set. His process shows how staying nimble can lead to more creative choices.

STEVEN SODERBERGH FILMMAKING

Even though his projects look and feel different from each other, Soderbergh returns to a few big ideas. He likes stories about systems— how people fit into them, fight against them, or get shaped by them. He’s drawn to questions of power and how it moves between characters or institutions. His style tends to be cool and observant, letting the audience watch people make decisions and deal with consequences without heavy commentary. This combination of experimentation and clear thematic focus is what gives his body of work its unique identity.
