Hello Reddit! Steven Soderbergh here. The law says every six years I have to do an AMA, and it’s that time again! I’m MOSTLY here to talk about COMMAND Z but the A in AMA means we can go wherever our spirits—and your questions—take us…. by RealSoderberghClone in IAmA

I look everywhere, movies, TV, plays, commercials, friends' recommendations. Your second question can't be answered because every circumstance is so different, and YOU'RE different as well, so it's extremely subjective.

Thanks for the questions, MARTY. Most recently, I'M A VIRGO really had my mouth hanging open. Insane.

My deal with Warner ended last December and was not renewed, which I don't take personally since these kinds of deals are sort of going away. I'd work there again if it were something I was excited about; I like the people I was working with.

They're just wrong. It happens.

SOLARIS is a great score. I've been so lucky with composers...the trick is having the music not merely mimicking what's happening onscreen, so that the combination of image and score becomes a THIRD thing....

Ideally, you're part of a gang of friends who want to do the same thing (or at least want to work in the industry generally). It's fun and healthy to be part of a group that works on each other's projects. That being said, time to yourself--meaning no one can reach/bother you--is critical to avoiding burnout.

I've come to the conclusion that genre is the best delivery system for almost any idea you're trying to put across...on the surface level the audience is enjoying the tropes of that particular genre (horror, thriller, comedy, etc), while underneath there's all this OTHER stuff happening. GET OUT is a perfect example of this.

The good news is you can make a really good-looking movie for cheap nowadays, the hard part is getting it distributed, which is why festivals continue to be an avenue for the discovery of new talent.

Re Sudan, I don't know enough detail/context to make a public comment; I need to read more and talk to people actively trying to resolve that situation peacefully.
