The first thing that will come to mind when talking about this director will surely be aliens, incredible creatures, amazing special effects and a prodigious ability to recreate fantastic universes and transport the audience there in a matter of seconds.
Yes, it is about the filmmaker, director and rcs data lebanon producer, Steven Allan Spielberg , who was born on December 18, 1946, in Cincinnati, Ohio and from a very young age showed a fondness for the big screen that would not go unnoticed.
He filmed his first movie when he was just 12 years old and, shortly afterwards, he made the war film “Escape to Nowhere” ( 1961 ), which won him first prize at a festival for professionals.
“I was making these little 8mm films and I knew that made me feel really good, and that I could possibly attract other people to this incredible medium, to enjoy what I was doing together,” he declared in an interview with the Directors Guild of America (DGA), regarding that precocious director who grew inside him almost like a game.
According to many of his biographies, it was a family friend who was an editorial executive at Universal Studios who offered young Spielberg – already eager to walk around the sets – an internship at the studio when he was just 17 years old. Apparently, the offer was not entirely “official” since Steven was not always allowed on the set; however, with no intention of giving up his opportunity, the future director showed up at the studio every day and snuck into the premises. Thus, Spielberg soon became one of the youngest television directors in the business in the late 1960s.
“ I was obsessed with the idea of being a film director and I thought the only way to make it was to get into the studio. So I dressed up like an executive and pretended for three months ,” Spielberg recounts, adding some spices to his own story in an interview with the BBC in London.
“Take your cameras and spread the word to people about what they record”
