Section Eight Productions

Section Eight Productions

Section Eight Productions is a movie studio founded in 2000 by film director Steven Soderbergh and film actor George Clooney. It produced the critical hits "Far From Heaven", "Insomnia", "Syriana", "A Scanner Darkly" and "Michael Clayton", as well as Clooney-directed films "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" and "Good Night, and Good Luck". In 2005, "Syriana" and "Good Night, and Good Luck" picked up eight Oscars nominations between them. With Soderbergh citing a desire to focus on directing, he and Clooney shut down Section Eight at the end of 2006.

On August 1 2006, George Clooney started another film production company named Smokehouse Pictures, with friend and long time production partner Grant Heslov.
