A well-known film director
One of the most well-known directors of our time is Stephen Spielberg. He was born in Cincinnati
on 18th December 1946. His father wa san electric engineer and his mother was a performing pianist.
His sister, Annie Spielberg, became a screenwriter who wrote the stories for many famous films.
Stephen had always wanted to be a director ever since he was a young boy. When he was just 13
years old, he made a 40-minute film. It won a local competition. Three years later, he produced
a film called Firelight, which made one hundred dollars’ profit at the cinema in his hometown.
Many of the ideas from this film were later used for one of his most famous films called Close
Encounters of the Third Kind.
When he was 18 years old, he wanted to go to film school so that he could improve his skills
and become an even better director. Unluckily, he was unsuccessful in getting a place at this
school so he went to a university in Canifornia to study English. Even though he had failed to
get into school he wanted to go to, he didn’t let this stop him following his dream to become
a great director.
Stephen Spielberg has directed many films since his first major film in 1976. He now owns many
different business, most of which are involved in the film industry.
