Studios, cast and crew from the disc credits. Steven Soderbergh/Peter Andrews/Mary Ann Bernard links: CNN Interview with Steven Soderbergh: http://archives.cnn.com/2000/SHOWBIZ/Movies/12/26/steven.soderbergh/ "CNN: You were your own director of photography. How were you listed on the credits? Soderbergh: I used a pseudonym: Peter Andrews. It's my father's first two names. " He uses this name because Union (Director's Guild?) rules prohibit any on-screen credits between the writing credits and the director credits. So his on-screen credits can't read Directed By/Director of Photography Steven Soderbergh. So his credits read DoP: Peter Andrews, then other credits, and finally, Directed By Steven Soderbergh. Or vice versa if the credits are at the end of the movie. From The Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/weekend/story/0,3605,899386,00.html "His films often credit a Peter Andrews as cinematographer, a Mary Ann Bernard as editor - his father's name, his mother's maiden name, but both in fact Soderbergh himself." From Slate: http://www.slate.com/id/2156392/ "Soderbergh uses the pseudonym Peter Andrews for his work as cinematographer on his films, and the name Mary Ann Bernard for his work as a film editor."
