How do we determine authorship in film, and what happens when we look in-depth at the creative activity of living filmmakers rather than approach their work through the abstract prism of auteur theory? 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.Gallagher investigates Soderbergh’s work on such films as The Limey, Erin Brockovich, Ocean’s Eleven and its sequels, Solaris, The Good German, Che, and The Informant!, as well as on the K Street 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 sex, lies and videotape, 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, Another Steven Soderbergh Experience demonstrates how industries and institutions cultivate, recognize, and challenge creative screen artists.

The Business of Winning: Strategic Success from the Formula One Track to the Boardroom

The uniqueness of Formula 1 is the range of challenges it creates for the competing teams and drivers, and the compression of those challenges into immovable timescales and deadlines that have to be met at venues around the world, and at all times under the scrutiny of a global media. While public companies concern themselves with meeting quarterly targets, Formula 1 teams, with annual budgets of hundreds of millions and a franchise valued at 7.5 billion dollars, see their results published every other Sunday in front of a highly critical audience that includes their own customers, staff and suppliers. There is no room to hide. Mark Gallagher offers a valuable how-to manual on not just managing, but thriving in a fast-moving, competitive environment. With practical examples from his own experience and accounts of how owners, drivers, teams, technicians and sponsors deal with the full range of management issues faced every day, he covers key business challenges including the need for leadership, the importance of change and the imperative of innovation while managing risk. The book also features a foreword by David Coulthard, a former Formula 1 driver and winner of 13 Grand Prix. The Business of Winning brings the drama of the Formula 1 business to life in vivid detail with experiences and insights that executives in countless other businesses can both learn from and use for ideas and inspiration.
