Steven Spielberg was born on December 18, 1947 in Cincinnati, Ohio. He began to develop an interest in film as a young boy, when he would cast family members and friends in short films which he directed. At the age of 10 he produced his first movie, an 8mm western lasting three minutes. At the age of 16 with a budget of $500 he produced Firelight, a two-hour, two-minute science fiction movie. In spite of his passion for film, he was a relatively poor student in the film department of California State College.

Universal Films was so impressed by this short that they signed him to a 7-year contract when he was just 21. His first successful film was Jaws, which cost only $8.5 million to make and became the biggest money maker for its time. Jaws changed the way Hollywood viewed business.
