What Steven has to say is more important than what he looks like saying it.

GOOD INTERVIEW.
If Soderbergh likes brilliant standup comics so much, I know a particularly AWESOME one he can put in his next flick.

I think to be labelled a standup comic, you have to actually do standup comedy. OUTSIDE of your apartment.

Oh, and: somebody's getting artsy.

Wow Soderbergh has a great voice. Who knew. I mean that is a charismatic voice. That's like some hot bread fresh from the parisian baker. I would like to see his face though.

I'm pretty sure this is the only place you will even hear Steven's voice on this film.
He doesn't want to be on camera anymore, as it interferes with his anonymity on the streets of NY. So I pitched this idea to him and he wore great shoes.
I assume that it's better than looking at my mug for 30 minutes, listening to him.
Any time with Steven is always a pleasure and I am always a little surprised by how forthcoming he is, considering how private a person he is. But for better or for worse, video is now the exclusive form I work in for interviews. I am pleased to have gotten this and look forward to finding new ways of shooting him without showing his face in the years to come.

Let me recommend a little innovation I call the paper bag.

Understandable. And he does have a compelling voice, I wasn't joking.

"He doesn't want to be on camera anymore, as it interferes with his anonymity on the streets of NY."
Why doesn't he just do interviews as Peter Andrews?

My guess is that Peter Andrews would not be impressed by this framing.

what's wrong with the framing? it's all about the shoes. i like it

He should just wear Groucho glasses like the parents in TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN...

If Soderbergh would rather not be on camera, this might be the perfect opportunity to PROVIDE AN AUDIO FILE hint hint hint.
