Biography
As one of the most acclaimed directors of the late 20th Century,
Steven Spielberg's work has rarely failed to capture the imagination
of movie-goers worldwide.
At just 13 years of age, Spielber received praise after winning
a contest for a short film entitled "Escape to Nowhere."
In a bid to make it in the movie industry, Spielberg raised
enough money from a close friend to make "Amblin",
a short film that gained the attention of major Hollywood
studios, and winning numerous film festival awards.
"The Sugerland Express," was Spielbers first feature
film, releaed in 1974. This sucess was followed one year later
by the Oscar and Academy Award winning "Jaws". Then
in 1982, Spielbers's 'Amblin Entertainment' was brought into
the spotlight with its first full length feature 'E.T.'
Following many years of outstanding success with Amblin Entertainment,
Spielberg extended his horizons and formed Dreamworks, a highly
respected partnership with Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen
responsible for films such as Saving Private Ryan, Gladiator
and Chicken Run. |
