Award-winning director Steven Soderbergh talks about his unusual upbringing, falling in love with film and finally getting to work with Lucy Liu.
While he wouldn't describe himself as a believer in the supernatural, per se, director Steven Soderbergh is less spooked than most by the idea of what might be there in the shadows.

"You can tell by their physicality, as they describe these things, that they're still affected."
The new home seems ideal when Rebekah moves in with her husband, Chris , adored teenage son Tyler and more distant daughter Chloe . But even before we meet the clan, we're privy to an unusual phenomenon, perceiving the house's darkened nooks and crannies from the sweeping camera's point of view, as if we are the unseen presence lurking here. Is it well-meaning or malignant?
His previous obsession for baseball went out the window and a life focused on making movies began, with Soderbergh's first feature — the provocatively named Sex, Lies and Videotape, starring Andie MacDowell and James Spader — debuting at the Sundance Film Festival in 1989. Sex, Lies and Videotape won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and Soderbergh was nominated for a Best Original Screenplay Oscar. Naming was a big deal for Presence, too."It seemed, again, to be the simplest way to describe it without giving anything away, which is critical in a situation like this.""April Lasky, the production designer, and I talked a lot about the room," Soderbergh says.
"It happened here the other night, in the middle of the night," Soderbergh says. "There was a noise that woke up me and my wife and you go right back to that primitive state trying to figure it out as your amygdala is blinking."Soderbergh says the concept behind Presence is "probably the simplest idea" he's had.
