Steven Spielberg

George C. Perry

Steven Spielberg, director, screenwriter, mass-media phenomenon and producer is quite simply the most successful moviemaker in the history of cinema. His company Amblin established itself as one of the most innovative production houses of the 80s and 90s, and his new venture Dream Works is the first major production company start-up in sixty years. Spielberg was invariably shunned by the Academy until 1993 when Schindler's List won seven Oscars, the crowning moment of his career. In this, the latest in the Close Up series, George Perry gets behind the stories of the making of Spielberg's movies.
