Mark Gallagher uses Steven Soderbergh's career as a lens through which to re-view screen authorship and offer a new model that acknowledges the fundamentally collaborative nature of authorial work and its circulation. Working in film, television, and digital video, Soderbergh is the most prolific and protean filmmaker in contemporary American cinema. At the same time, his activity typifies contemporary screen industry practice, in which production entities, distribution platforms, and creative labor increasingly cross-pollinate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGallagher investigates Soderbergh's work on such films as \u003ci\u003eThe Limey\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eErin Brockovich\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOcean's Eleven\u003c\/i\u003e and its sequels, \u003ci\u003eSolaris\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Good German\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eChe\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Informant!\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as on the \u003ci\u003eK Street\u003c\/i\u003e television series. Dispensing with classical auteurist models, he positions Soderbergh and authorship in terms of collaborative production, location filming activity, dealmaking and distribution, textual representation, genre and adaptation work, critical reception, and other industrial and cultural phenomena. Gallagher also addresses Soderbergh's role as standard-bearer for U.S. independent cinema following 1989's \u003ci\u003esex, lies and videotape\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as his cinephilic dialogues with different forms of U.S. and international cinema from the 1920s through the 1970s. Including an extensive new interview with the filmmaker, \u003ci\u003eAnother Steven Soderbergh Experience\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how industries and institutions cultivate, recognize, and challenge creative screen artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMark Gallagher is Lecturer in Film and Television Studies in the Department of Culture, Film, and Media at the University of Nottingham and the author of \u003ci\u003eAction Figures: Men, Action Films, and Contemporary Adventure Narratives\u003c\/i\u003e.
