>“My policy is to have my name on a movie only once,” Steven Soderbergh says. “Having your name once increases the impact of that credit because I think every time you put your name up there, you’re actually diluting it.” >Soderbergh is hardly alone in his use of pseudonyms. When Joel and Ethan Coen edit their movies, they use the pseudonym "Roderick Jaynes" so as not to highlight their names too many times. Though the brothers work as a team, their standard credit sequence is for Joel to take director, Ethan to take producer, and for both to share the writing credit. >This may seem a bit silly… until you watch the opening credits for Tommy Wiseau’s The Roomhttps://youtu.be/Sw5DsVvzLEY&t=104
Cinematography in Soderbergh's movies is usually credited to "Peter Andrews" and editing to "Mary Ann Bernard". While movie buffs would know this bit of trivia, it passes unnoticed by the average viewer. Otherwise, it would be as distracting and silly-looking as it is in The Room's credits.
