We have a double header of director Steven Soderbergh and screenwriter David Koepp news to report today.

“No Small Matter” opens on an innovative attention-grabber, spoofing dry, outdated classroom tutorials to make its point: that a child’s early education is fundamental to their maturation into successful community members and American citizens.
