Publisher's Note GETTING AWAY WITH IT is a hilarious, insightful conversation between two visionary directors, Steven Soderbergh and Richard Lester, about the manifold joys and hardships of being a filmmaker. Though a generation apart, both share the infectious passion of cinephilia and have had a wide impact on the world film community. Soderberbergh's freshman effort as a writer director, sex, lies and videotape, inaugurated a movement in low budget, independent American film that remains a vital part of contemporary cinema today. Lester's freewheeling films of the sixties and seventies (including the Beatles' movies HELP! and A HARD DAY'S NIGHT; THE KNACK; HOW I WON THE WAR; and PETULIA) helped to create a "new wave" of British filmmaking. Together they discuss their respective adventures in motion pictures in a free ranging and sardonically educational dialogue.
