SHORT SYNOPSIS

“GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK.” takes place during the early days of broadcast journalism in 1950’s America. It chronicles the real-life conflict between television news man Edward R. Murrow (DAVID STRATHAIRN) and Senator Joseph McCarthy and the House Un-American Activities Committee. With a desire to report the facts and enlighten the public, Murrow, and his dedicated staff - headed by his producer Fred Friendly (GEORGE CLOONEY) and Joe Wershba (ROBERT DOWNEY JR.) in the CBS newsroom - defy corporate and sponsorship pressures to examine the lies and scaremongering tactics perpetrated by McCarthy during his communist ‘witch-hunts.’ A very public feud develops when the Senator responds by accusing the anchor of being a communist. In this climate of fear and reprisal, the CBS crew carries on regardless and their tenacity eventually pays off when McCarthy is brought before the Senate and made powerless as his lies and bullying tactics are finally uncovered.

Directed by George Clooney, who co-wrote the script with the film's producer Grant Heslov, “GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK.” stars David Strathairn as Murrow, Clooney as Fred Friendly, Robert Downey, Jr. and Patricia Clarkson as Joe and Shirley Wershba, Frank Langella as Bill Paley, Ray Wise as Don Hollenbeck, Heslov as Don Hewitt, and Jeff Daniels as Sig Mickelson. GRAMMY® Award-winner Dianne Reeves appears and performs in the film as well.

A Section Eight, 2929 Entertainment, and Participant Productions production, “GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK.” was executive produced by Todd Wagner, Mark Cuban, Marc Butan, Steven Soderbergh, Jennifer Fox, Ben Cosgrove, Jeff Skoll and Chris Salvaterra.

SYNOPSIS

The year is 1953, television is still in its infancy and the esteemed broadcast journalist, Edward R. Murrow (DAVID STRATHAIRN), anchors the popular news documentary show, “See it Now,” on CBS. Murrow, alongside producer Fred Friendly (GEORGE CLOONEY), oversees a show that reports on the news items of the day. He also hosts the talk show “Person to Person,” yet “the face of television” is happiest as a news reporter.

The CBS TV newsroom is a constant hive of activity with secretaries typing, AP and UPI wires clicking away and the bustling of camera crews. Murrow has a dedicated crew of reporters that includes Don Hewitt (GRANT HESLOV), Joe Wershba (ROBERT DOWNEY JR.), Palmer Williams (TOM MCCARTHY), Jesse Zousmer (TATE DONOVAN), John Aaron (REED DIAMOND), Charlie Mack (ROBERT JOHN BURKE) and Eddie Scott (MATT ROSS). All these men will become broadcast legends, but right now, their careers are just beginning. They get together to screen the various topics of the day and discuss potential stories.

One such story is that of navy pilot, Milo Radulovich, who has been kicked out the navy for being a security risk. Declared guilty without a trial, he had been asked to denounce his father and sister to stay on, but he refused. All charges against him have been kept sealed. Murrow reports this on the show despite opposition from the number two at CBS, Sig Mickelson (JEFF DANIELS), who fears he may be getting the show into hot water. Murrow and Friendly are so committed to the program they even decide to pay for the advertising revenue lost from the show’s sponsors that have military contacts.

A powerful figure at the time is Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin, chairman of the House Un-American Activities Committee. The senator is on a singular crusade to rid the country of communists. His relentless pursuit of anyone he feels may have connections to the communist party has allowed a sense of paranoia to seep into the public consciousness. Such is the reach of his power that people from the armed services to the creative community are forced to quit their jobs and go into exile based on his attacks.

Murrow suspects that McCarthy may have had something to do with Radulovich’s dismissal and worries that his closed hearings and theatrical vitriol both hide the fact that he has no real proof and are eroding people’s civil liberties. The Radulovich show airs and prompts an indirect response from McCarthy. Sure enough, because of Murrow’s questioning and probing of the case, he is accused of being a communist sympathizer. The anchor knows in his heart that it is all lies purely designed to scare his team away.

The attack only prompts the news crew into further action, and after a meeting with the supportive CBS boss William Paley (FRANK LANGELLA), Murrow decides to fight fire with fire and report on what he feels are all the inadequacies and lies perpetrated by the McCarthy hearings.

The McCarthy show airs and Murrow’s editorial both at the beginning and the end of the show is nothing short of brilliant. He manages to highlight the serious issues involved in the McCarthy hearings: namely, the line between investigation and ‘persecution’; that dissent is not disloyalty; accusation is not proof; conviction depends upon evidence and process of law; and finally, as defenders of freedom abroad, the US cannot desert it at home. What’s more, rather than direct attack, McCarthy is only seen and heard in the context of using his own words, all of which seems to exemplify all of the above problems. Critics hail it as a masterpiece of crusading journalism and high responsibility not often found in television. For now, the knowledge of McCarthy’s tactics is out in the public domain and Murrow is safe.

Suddenly, Radulovich is reinstated yet McCarthy’s theatrical hearings continue, still spouting accusations at people based on hearsay. The show reports on the hearings of Annie Lee Moss whereby Senator McClellan insists they, McCarthy and aide Roy Cohn, supply him the corroborative evidence labeled against her. The public gets to witness how secretive, even flimsy, the accusations are.

Murrow invites McCarthy onto the show to respond. The Senator agrees but his rebuttal will be pre-filmed and he will need time to prepare. Eventually it airs, and predictably, he continues to accuse Murrow of communist ties without addressing any of the accusations leveled against him. Evidently, if he were to take issue with the factual content of the show itself, he would undermine his own words. Murrow details this in the following week’s broadcast and clears his character, once again denying any involvement with the communist party, feeling that his search for the truth, even if it means the attentions of McCarthy, is worth it. Again, the Senator gets a critical drubbing from the press and sees favorable opinion polls waver.

The show has captured, in the mind of the public, the spite of McCarthy highlighted by the insidiousness of his investigative tactics. With this spotlight in place, the Senate begins to take steps to censure the senator and vote him off as chairman of the committee.

For Murrow, his pioneering show and its news department, was what defined CBS. Yet, the show was moved out of its weekly slot to Sunday and only five more episodes were ordered. Paley sited the changing of the times and how it was entertainment that people wanted from their TV those days. Still, the legacy of Murrow’s show is one of pioneering investigative journalism. Whether it was an exposé on such topics as segregation, apartheid, the exploitation of migrant workers or the famous conflict with Senator Joe McCarthy, Murrow would go on to influence generations to come.

"We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine; and remember that we are not descended from fearful men. Not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were for the moment unpopular.

This is no time for men who oppose Senator McCarthy's methods to keep silent, or for those who approve. We can deny our heritage and our history, but we cannot escape responsibility for the result. There is no way for a citizen of a republic to abdicate his responsibilities. As a nation we have come into our full inheritance at a tender age. We proclaim ourselves, as indeed we are, the defenders of freedom, wherever it continues to exist in the world, but we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home. The actions of the junior Senator from Wisconsin have caused alarm and dismay amongst our allies abroad, and given considerable comfort to our enemies. And whose fault is that? Not really his. He didn't create this situation of fear; he merely exploited it — and rather successfully. Cassius was right. "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves." Good night, and good luck." – See it Now broadcast, March 9, 1954

BACKGROUND

EDWARD R. MURROW
A legendary figure whose impact on electronic newsgathering is still felt to this day, Edward R. Murrow did not merely influence the development of broadcast journalism, he helped invent the form. His shortwave radio broadcasts from Europe in the days leading up to World War II brought a new immediacy to coverage of foreign news, his live reports from the war’s frontlines made his distinctive voice universally recognizable, and his television documentaries set the standard for illustrating social and political issues by putting a human face on them. He helped shape television journalism during its infancy with his passion for the truth and his tireless efforts to advance democratic ideals, not the least of which he is frequently associated with in the mind of the public: free speech.

Murrow was born Egbert Roscoe Murrow in Polecat Creek in Guilford County, North Carolina on April 25, 1908. He grew up in a Quaker abolitionist household -- one which provided him with a conscience which would later fuel his fearless pursuit of the truth. He graduated from Washington State College in 1930 with a degree in speech and moved to New York City to work for the National Student Federation. He then served as assistant director of the Institute of International Education from 1932 to 1935, during which time he married Janet Huntington Brewster. They had one son.

In 1935, Murrow began his career at CBS as director of talks and education. Two years later, he became the director of their European Bureau in London, where he assembled a group of reporters, including William Shirer, Charles Collingwood, Eric Sevareid, Bill Shael, and Howard K. Smith, whose reports of the war from the front lines made them popular back in the states.

After the war, Murrow returned to the United States as CBS vice president and director of public affairs but resigned to return to radio broadcasting. With Fred Friendly, Murrow produced the series Hear It Now from 1950 to 1951, serving as the show’s host, as well. The popularity of the show brought Murrow back to television; the team adapted their program for TV, calling it See It Now. The show opened with the first live simultaneous transmission from both the East Coast and the West Coast. Murrow’s program on Milo Radulovich, which ultimately led up to the legendary telecast focusing on Senator Joseph R. McCarthy in 1954, is considered by many as not only marking the turning point in the Senator’s campaign against communist sympathizers, but a turning point in the history of television, as well.

During the same time period, Murrow hosted Person To Person, which featured informal chats with celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe and John Steinbeck. While less controversial, the show and its format continue to influence today’s celebrity interviewers. He continued with that program for a year after See It Now ended in 1958, the same year Murrow began moderating and producing Small World, another innovative program which featured discussions among international political figures.

Although Murrow won five Emmys and five Peabody Awards for his work over the years, he continued to demand more from himself and his colleagues, as demonstrated by a speech given at the Radio and Television News Directors Association convention in 1958. “This just might do nobody any good,” the speech began grimly, and in it, Murrow described the untenable position of the journalist broadcasting on instruments whose development had been shaped by – and would continue to grow as -- an impossible combination of news, show business and advertising. Murrow only mentioned his employer a few times in his speech, but it was clear that he included CBS in his criticism of the networks and the effect their unchecked competition for ratings had on news programs.

He left CBS in 1961 when he was appointed by President John F. Kennedy to head U.S. Information Agency, a post he remained at until 1964.

Murrow died of lung cancer in New York on April 27, 1965.

SEE IT NOW
Network television’s first news magazine, See It Now aired on CBS for six years, starting in 1951, and quickly set a standard for televised news and journalism as a whole. Born from the Murrow/Friendly produced CBS radio show Hear It Now, See It Now did more than just report the news, it engaged in intellectual discussions and analysis of the issues of the day, oftentimes leading into political and social commentaries. Murrow and his team covered hot topics, often political in nature, ranging from life in the nuclear age to our countries’ calls to war. Reporting the anti-Communist rage sweeping the nation required more delicate dealings, and in October 1953, See It Now found an aired an episode which lead to two more in 1954 focusing on Senator McCarthy, exposing his tyrannical behavior and putting an end to his witch-hunt of communists. See It Now continued to air as specials until 1957, though as a result of their most provocative and ground-breaking broadcasts involving McCarthy, those that followed were relatively tame in tone.

FRED FRIENDLY (George Clooney)
Fred Friendly co-produced See It Now along side Edward R. Murrow. Their partnership started in a series of records covering news stories from the war front, I Can Hear It Now, which they adapted into a radio show, Hear It Now, the basis for what would be network televisions first news magazine show, See It Now. Friendly went on to become the president of the CBS News Division in 1964, and resigned two years later after disagreeing with the network’s decision to air an “I Love Lucy” rerun instead of broadcasting live coverage of the Senate’s hearings on America’s involvement in Vietnam. Upon leaving CBS, Friendly took the Edward R. Murrow seat as a professor of Journalism at Columbia University. Through out his distinguished career, Friendly received a total of ten Peabody Awards.

DON HEWITT (Grant Heslov)
Don Hewitt directed See It Now which first aired in 1951. He has spent his entire career at CBS. In addition to producing and directing the first ever televised presidential debate in 1960, he produced and directed the inaugural year of the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite in 1963, and created 60 Minutes which premiered in 1968. CBS notes that between September 1968 and 2003, there have been over three thousand original stories on 60 Minutes, nearly every one of which has had to meet with Hewitt’s approval.

SIGFRIED “SIG” MICKELSON (Jeff Daniels)
Sig Mickelson, head of the CBS Network News and Public Affairs division, helped develop the format of Hear It Now with Fred Friendly in anticipation of growing into See It Now. Abandoning the reliance on newsreel companies, Mickelson was instrumental in building in-house department of camera crews to document footage.

WILLIAM S. PALEY (Frank Langella)
William S. Paley ran the CBS radio and television networks for more than half a century. He served as president of the network until 1946, when he became chairman of the CBS Board. Paley established the radio network’s first programming department in the late 1940’s, and went on promote the development of the news division which gave birth to See It Now in 1951. Paley retained his chairmanship of CBS until his death in 1990. His was the primary donation in 1976 that helped create what is now the Museum of Television and Radio in New York City.

JOE WERSHBA (Robert Downey Jr.)
Joe Wershba started his career in radio before moving into television journalism. A producer on See It Now, he captured the Milo J. Radulovich footage and was part of the team that broadcast the brave shows challenging Senator Joseph McCarthy. Wershba continued to work at CBS and became one of the original producers 60 Minutes along side Don Hewitt. Upon retiring, Wershba has worked on film documentaries in the United States and Asia, and contributed to Walter Cronkite’s memoirs. He is the recipient of the highly-prized Silurian award for lifetime excellence in journalism, and has been nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in addition to receiving two Emmy awards.

SHIRLEY WERSHBA (Patricia Clarkson)
Shirley Wershba helped develop one of the first radio shows devoted to womens issues, Dimensions of a Woman’s World. Married to Joseph Wershba, the two had to keep their marriage secret due to network rules. In 1965, her focus returned to television and she contributed to CBS News, ABC Evening News with Peter Jennings and as producer-writer on the Morning News for CBS. In 1975, She was one of the three original producers of the MacNeil/Lehrer Report on PBS and also produced for 60 Minutes. In 1983, she was nominated for an Emmy for producing Diane Sawyer’s Morning News interview with Richard Nixon.

SENATOR JOSEPH P. McCARTHY
As a Senator in the post-WWII era, McCarthy devoted much time to exposing subversives (communists or their sympathizers), a mission sparked when he claimed to have a list of such subversives working in the State Department. For this, or any of his accusations, McCarthy failed to ever provide hard evidence. In early 1954, McCarthy’s hearings of accused subversives were broadcast, the first ever televised hearings. See It Now reported on these hearings and the misuse and abuse of legislative power on the part of the Senator. The program allowed a rebuttal from the junior senator whose appearance on See It Now exposed McCarthy’s tyrannical, one-sided motivations, leading to his being censured by the Senate.

LT. MILO RADULOVICH
Born in the United States to immigrant parents, Milo Radulovich was a World War II veteran working as a meteorologist and an Air Force reservist with top-secret clearance. In 1953, Radulovich was served with discharge papers having been deemed a security risk, because his father and sister were supposedly communist sympathizers. Stripped of his commission after losing his first court case, Murrow read about Radulovich’s experiences and found his the ideal story to expose Senator McCarthy and his witch hunt. See It Now aired Radulovich’s story on October 20, 1953, and one month later he was reinstated to the military. After a career as a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, Radulovich retired and now lives in Lodi, California.

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

For George Clooney, the co-writer and director of “Good Night, And Good Luck.,” it was his fascination with the famed broadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow, played by David Strathairn, that proved to be the inspiration for his telling of one of the most important and political upheavals in American history. His father had been a news-anchor for 30 years and Murrow was a hero to his family, a man every news-journalist aspired to be.

For years, Clooney had thoughts of making something about him. He wrote a TV movie and even considered making a live TV movie in the tradition of his other project, “Fail Safe.” Yet, for multiple reasons, neither was produced. Clooney was conscious that he didn’t want to make a straightforward biopic. This was an opportunity, among other things, to again explore the nature and power of television through one of its most revered personalities. Eventually, he and producer and co-writer, Grant Heslov (who also plays ‘Don Hewitt’) decided that Murrow would best be depicted in a feature film set during a specific time period. Specifically, they focused on the early ‘50s during Senator McCarthy’s communist witch-hunts and the televised conflicts between the two. Says Clooney, “this incident and time has been a passion of mine because it is one of the few times you could point to where broadcast journalism actually changed the world and people’s minds. McCarthy was untouchable until Murrow stepped up. It was one of those great moments where you really had to be brave.”

David Strathairn is the exceptional actor that plays Murrow and he also sees the film as an opportunity to both examine the man and learn about a specific time in American history, “Edward R. Murrow was a true American hero, a legend in his own time, although there are not as many people around who really remember him. So, from that point of view, it’s really informative, the facts are in there and the history is in there too. It’s compelling.”

The filmmakers felt that the on-air conflict between Murrow and McCarthy is, at its heart, a great story. It’s the telling of two titans at the peak of their powers as they confront each other and thus ending both their careers by doing it. Yet, it was important to make the point that Murrow is remembered, by most, as a great American, and McCarthy is remembered as someone who used fear to gain popularity. Murrow’s (and his team’s) sense of moral justice and general human decency make him a hero of the highest order.

Clooney’s deep connection can be felt by the other actors too and Strathairn contests that there is nothing Clooney doesn’t know about the subject and makes this good analogy, “he’s really the Edward R. Murrow of this production and Grant is the Fred Friendly. These guys have put together a world and a group of people and an amazing crew where everybody’s on the same page. You feel like there’s this momentum of energy and that we’re making something special.”

Both Clooney and Heslov wanted to create an accurate portrayal of the time so verisimilitude was the key. A conscious effort was made to incorporate many of the speeches made by the people at the time, including McCarthy and Murrow. Although many of the real-life people played in the film are portrayed by actors, they decided to divert from the norm and portray McCarthy through the use of real footage. In some way, Heslov says, it was a practical decision, “we realized that whomever we got to play McCarthy, no matter how good they were, nobody was going to believe it. They were going to think that the guy was over-acting, so we decided to use the real footage. In regard to Murrow's speeches, here was all this great writing so why not use it? We just felt very strongly that his speeches were so beautiful.” If they could come close to delivering some of Murrow’s ideas as cleanly as possible then it would be an accomplishment.

Strathairn remembers how the initial script read-through was quite daunting because of the presence of many of the real-life characters. It was at this point that he began to feel the importance of accuracy, “Milo Radulovich was there, Fred Friendly’s two sons and one of his wives was there, there was the real Joe and Shirley Wershba, everybody had come in for the table read, which is almost unheard of in film production.” He continues, “To listen to them speak and see all the photographs; look at the documentation of ‘See It Now’ (Murrow’s news show) is a huge challenge to access but deserves the attempt.”

Of course, playing such a towering, important figure as Murrow would be a daunting task for any actor. Clooney even considered himself for the role at one stage. Yet, according to Heslov, he and Clooney knew it was no contest once they had met Strathairn, “We knew he was a great actor but you still can’t tell, particularly when it's playing somebody as iconic as Murrow. However, the second he was in front of the camera, and started doing some of those huge speeches, he was transformed. I've been with a lot of actors and I'd never seen anybody as transformed to the point where I'd look up and forget that it wasn't Murrow. It was uncanny but he's brilliant.”

Clooney concurs, as an established actor himself, he felt it was vital to get the right look. Also, he didn’t just want an impersonator but someone who captures the essence of the character, “the one thing you knew about Murrow is that he always felt like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders. David is the kind of actor that always feels like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders, so the minute that we realized how much he could look like him, just by looking at old pictures and the gravitas and sadness he can carry, he was the perfect guy to cast. We got on the set and started rehearsing and it seemed fine. He had long hair and a beard, but then he shaved and he slicked his hair back and started talking. We all just sat there with our mouths open.”

While shooting in black and white was a choice they made, it also proved, in terms of production design, a lot more forgiving than color. Clooney says, “We had to film Joe Wershba, played by Robert Downey Jr., and then play that back on a TV screen and then film that. We basically took the Joe Wershba from the ‘50s and replaced him with the Robert Downey Jr. of 2005 and then intercut that with the old footage back and forth.” For his part, Downey Jr. got to meet the real thing. “He’s just a great guy. He really only had one note for me and just said, ‘We were really aggressive. Don't forget that, kid, we really loved what we were doing.’”

During the shoot, the “See it Now” set was authentically replicated and designed so the camera could move freely in any direction. It was almost like going back in time to the CBS studios of the ‘50s. Detail was paramount as the props department even delivered newspapers from the early ‘50s with their headlines corresponding to the script day. According to Production Designer, Jim Bissell, Clooney wanted a way to create a space that would incorporate three different locations in order to follow the actors around from one place to another. “The other mandate was to try to create depth to the sets with very little money, make it feel big without really spending anything because we had strict budget limitations. One way was by incorporating the glass end so you could see through and you would have the depth and be able to rack focus to see different activities going on at the same time.”

The focus on the reality of the events as they played out is exemplified through the use of actual footage and documented speeches. For Clooney, the focal point wasn’t on the characters personal lives because it wasn’t relevant, “this is specifically about a television event. And I wanted only the moments that played out on television. We stayed away from most of the exploitative facts, and we just tried to stick with basics.”

The writers also wanted to capture that frenetic, live energy feeling the show used to have when it was broadcast. They decided to foster improvised situations on set. “People don't wait, in general, for other people to talk,” says Clooney, “and that happens a lot in movies. Grant and I (after making the improvised HBO series “Unscripted”) really fell in love with multiple cameras and people talking on top of each other and all the things that I liked from the films of the ‘70s. It's a very tricky thing, though, because we're playing in 1953 and 1954, and it's a very different aesthetic and we had to find that happy medium of feeling. People don't improvise the way they talked in 1953, so we’d give actors newspapers and everything they could possibly need to get prepared to shoot for 30 minutes for a minute and a half scene. That, to me, was the exciting part.”

Yet, Clooney was very specific about boundaries too. A lot of people in the movie were on hand during the shoot to act as a witness and a reference. “We asked Joe and Shirley Wershba every day, Where are we wrong? What are we missing in this? That was what was important to us because we had to treat these questions in many ways the same way that Murrow treated things, which was that we had to double source our material.”

The film has an impressive array of top quality actors that includes Patricia Clarkson, Jeff Daniels, Tate Donovan, Frank Langella and Ray Wise. They all relished the idea of joining an ensemble piece. Actor, Daniels, who plays Sig Mickelson, says, “After 40 films, you want to do stuff that matters and this is a good project with good people. It's timely and I liked being part of that.” Actress Patricia Clarkson, who plays Shirley Wershba and the only main female character, quickly began to trust and feel confident in her director, “he’s always right on. The improv is always exactly the idea of the concept. And he only says something when he has to and his direction is incredibly eloquent and succinct.”

Downey Jr. says it’s been rewarding to watch Clooney and Heslov work as a team, “At the end of the day you can't really care too much or you're going to blow it. They’re very close to the material but also have a healthy dose of detachment and levity considering the subject matter is not light.”

Clooney found the experience of directing this much different that his debut effort, “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.” His first movie had the luxury of shooting three times longer. This was a quick shoot that took six weeks and was shot on a low budget. Also, having undergone back and neck surgery at Christmas, he almost pulled the plug.

Daniels says, “Everything's so cyclical. Everything comes back and history sometimes does repeat itself if we allow it. I think it's good to remind everyone, on both sides of the aisle that we've been through this already and we should learn from that. America wants to be nothing but safe, we also want our art and our culture to be safe. We want everything to be safe. This story speaks volumes to me.”

Finally, Clooney has this to say, “there's an opportunity that one in a hundred young kids actually might learn who Murrow is and have some discussion and have some understanding of what and how dangerous a democracy can be if fear is used as a weapon.”

Then he was cast in the lead role in Hal Hartley's first feature, “The Unbelievable Truth.” The movie garnered positive notices for Hartley's distinctly offbeat sensibility and his stars' deadpan, wry performances. Burke followed this with a supporting part in the Oscar-nominated “Rambling Rose” and the starring role, replacing Peter Weller, as the cyborg law enforcer in “Robocop 3.”

Burke alternated between independent movies and Hollywood projects.

Dianne Reeves, one of the pre-eminent jazz vocalists in the world today, was awarded the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Performance for each of her last three recordings—a Grammy first in any vocal category. Reeves’ singing draws upon a world of influences; she is tied to a powerful storytelling instinct and her virtuosity and improvisational gifts are breathtaking. In 1987, Reeves was the first vocalist signed to the reactivated Blue Note/EMI label. As a result of her unique R&B and jazz stylings, Reeves has since captured a huge following and tremendous acclaim throughout the world.

Reeves has performed with Daniel Barenboim and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and was the featured soloist with Sir Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic.

STEVEN SODERBERGH (Executive Producer)
Steven Soderbergh has often been credited with creating the late 20th-century boom in independent filmmaking and a flood of other indie moviemakers have followed in his wake. Born in Atlanta, Soderbergh spent his formative years in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and cut his teeth making short Super-8mm films including "Rapid Eye Movement" and "Winston." His first break came in 1986 when the rock group 'Yes' enlisted him to shoot concert footage which he eventually shaped into the Grammy-nominated video "9012Live."

Soderbergh's first feature project was the finely crafted, low-budget ($1.2 million) drama, "Sex, Lies and Videotape." After premiering at the United States Film Festival (the forerunner of Sundance), the film scored a double triumph at Cannes, winning the Palme d'Or for Soderbergh and the Best Actor award for James Spader. With the requisite buzz, the film opened as a box-office hit, later earning an Oscar nomination for its screenplay and establishing Soderbergh as one of the most promising young filmmakers of his generation.

His subsequent films include "Kafka," starring Jeremy Irons, "King of the Hill" and "The Underneath." Soderbergh then returned home to Baton Rouge and shot "Schizopolis" for $250,000, employing used equipment, a bare-bones crew and casting himself in a dual lead role. Next, he took ten days to shoot "Gray's Anatomy," creating the most cinematic of the filmed Spalding Gray monologues. He then returned to mainstream movies, directing the adaptation of Elmore Leonard's novel "Out of Sight," starring George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez, which received glowing reviews and was a surprise winner of several end-of-the-year critics' prizes.

Soderbergh then made "The Limey," with cinematic icons Terence Stamp and Peter Fonda in leading roles. His renowned visual panache and strong handle on the material elevated the gangster story to a work of art. His immediate follow-up, "Erin Brockovich" starring Julia Roberts, became the director's most successful picture, grossing over $125 million. He also directed and shot "Traffic" in 2000 and it was the perfect synthesis between the director's commercial films and his experimental ones. This one-two punch brought Soderbergh numerous end-of-the-year prizes and he received a Director Oscar for "Traffic." His next project was the all-star remake of "Ocean's Eleven," featuring George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon. In 2002, Soderbergh took a different approach to his craft and directed the non-narrative "Full Frontal" starring Julia Roberts. Next came the remake of the sci-fi classic "Solaris" with George Clooney in the lead and most recently the sequel "Ocean's Twelve."

Soderbergh and Clooney's joint production company Section Eight have also developed television series, frequently with one of the two principals behind the camera on individual episodes: Beginning with the Washington insider drama "K Street" then the improvised "Unscripted" which follows the ups and downs of a trio of actors working their way through Hollywood.
