1/13/14: producer

Steven Spielberg is a very famous director who also produced some films. He produced the classic movie ET which came out in 1982 and more recently produced War Horse in 2011. His earlier films were more sci fi and adventure themed while his more recent work addresses humanistic issues. He has won Academy Awards for not only his talent at producing films but also for his innovative directing.

I thought the fact that Steven Spielberg has dyslexia was really interesting because making and directing movies requires a lot of reading scripts and directions, so it would be difficult to do this with a reading disorder. My mother and brother both have dyslexia so I thought it was cool that someone like Steven Spielberg could accomplish so much with this reading disease. Below is a video of Mr. Spielberg discussing his disease.
