Steven Soderbergh's Presence Is a Stylish, Experimental Ghost Story

Steven Soderbergh never settles down.

The director, who helped fuel the independent film revolution in the 1990s before hitting it big with the Ocean's 11 films, has always treated filmmaking as an entrepreneurial proposition, innovating not only in terms of technology—he was one of the first major filmmakers to adopt digital video—but also financing and distribution, with quasi-experimental films like Bubble, one of the earliest movies to get a simultaneous theatrical and home streaming release. 

He's also restless to the point of comedy: Since announcing his "retirement" in 2013, he's directed at least one TV show and nearly a dozen feature films, several of which have an experimental element.
