Steven Allan Spielberg is an American film director, screenwriter, film producer, video game designer and studio executive. He has had a career spanning 40 years and he has covered many different themes and subjects including science-fiction, adventure, slavery, war and terrorism.
I have watched many of his films including Saving Private Ryan, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park and many more.
He first started film making in his early teens with his friends. In 1958, he became a Boy Scout, was fully awarded the photography merit badge by making a 9 minute film titled The Last Gunfight. This is how he started to get into it. At 13, he won a prize for a 40 minute war film titled Escape to Nowhere which was based on a battle in Africa.
In 1963, aged 16 Spielberg wrote and directed his first independant film.
He has many film projects going on at the moment. He is turning the Tintn Adventures by Belgian author Herge. He is also working on a film of the World War 1 book War Horse by Michael Morpurgo. Both are to be released in December this year.
