As one of the most acclaimed directors of the late 20th Century, Steven Spielberg's work has rarely failed to capture the imagination of movie-goers worldwide.
At just 13 years of age, Spielberg received praise after winning a contest for a short film entitled "Escape to Nowhere."
In a bid to make it in the movie industry, Spielberg raised enough money from a close friend to make "Amblin", a short film that gained the attention of major Hollywood studios, and winning numerous film festival awards.
"The Sugerland Express," was Spielbergs first feature film, releaed in 1974. This sucess was followed one year later by the Oscar and Academy Award winning "Jaws". Then in 1982, Spielberg's 'Amblin Entertainment' was brought into the spotlight with its first full length feature 'E.T.'
Following many years of outstanding success with Amblin Entertainment, Spielberg extended his horizons and formed Dreamworks, a highly respected partnership with Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen responsible for films such as Saving Private Ryan, Gladiator and Chicken Run.
