Bubble is a movie directed by Steven Soderbergh. It was shot on high-definition video and was made for a relatively small budget of $1.6 million. It also featured some unusual production aspects.

In traditional terms, the movie has no script. All lines were improvised according to an outline written by screenwriter Coleman Hough, who previously teamed with Soderbergh on Full Frontal. Bubble was also shot and edited by Soderbergh under the pseudonyms Peter Andrews and Mary Ann Bernard, respectively.

The film utilizes non-professional actors recruited from the Parkersburg, West Virginia / Belpre, Ohio area where the film was shot. Lead Debbie Doebereiner was found working the drive-through window in a Parkersburg KFC, for example.
Bubble was released simultaneously in movie theaters and on the cable/satellite TV network HDNet Movies on January 27, 2006. The DVD was released a few days later on January 31.

It was nominated for Best Director for Steven Soderbergh at the 2007 Independent Spirit Awards.

Bubble is the first of six films Soderbergh plans to shoot and release in the same manner.

The score for the movie was composed by Ohio native Robert Pollard.

A total and complete strokefest by Soderbergh. It feels more like some tacky student art project than an actual film. Utterly boring, hopelessly pointless, and achingly pretentious.

Couldn't disagree more. :smile:

I thought this movie was haunting and very true to its characters. There are many films that try to dissect the anatomy of a killer, and stumble in the process, but Soderbergh proves that less is more with his disturbing portrait of this small town murder. I wouldn't call it a tragedy, but it almost comes off as one.
