Maggie Mae Fish (she/her) explores the work of Steven Soderbergh, the director who revolutionized the indie film scene with his breakout erotic feature: sex, lies, and videotape in 1989. Soderbergh offers a more intimate look at sex and sexuality, with characters who search for authenticity in a world that discourages us from being our true selves. The Girlfriend Experience is a micro budget feature starring adult film icon, Sasha Grey, that looks at ultra high class sex work. And Magic Mike launched a wave of erotic films that catered to a presumably female audience.
