Soderbergh talks to IndieWire about "Jaws," his 15-year project to write a book about directing, and working to get his entire film catalog in 4K HDR.

Steven Soderbergh isn’t just the director and cinematographer of his latest film. He’s also, in a way, its central character. “Presence” is filmed entirely from the POV of a ghost inside a home a family has just moved into.

"I always operate the camera, but this was next level," the director says. "I’m really in there with the actors."

Steven Soderbergh often applies his brainy, process-based approach to new genres; with Presence, he tries his hand at ghost-story horror.

There’s only so much that a person can hold before everything collapses.” With Presence now in theaters, Vogue spoke to Liu and Liang about preparing for their unconventional film—and their own relationships to the paranormal.

Doing his own camerawork, the director gleefully enriches the haunted-house genre with a simple but ingenious device.

Presence is a more delicate and nuanced haunted house movie that takes a more elevated route to horror as opposed to more gory ghost stories like 13 Ghosts or The Haunting in Connecticut.

Over Zoom I spoke to Koepp about writing within the confines of the film’s single point-of-view, the value of what’s left out of a story, dreams and screenwriting, and his thoughts on the business of screenwriting today. Presence opens January 24, 2025 from NEON.

A ghost story seen through the ghost’s perspective? That’s the unusual if compelling premise for Steven Soderbergh’s “Presence,” in theaters this weekend.
