Steven Spielberg is working with President Joe Biden's re-election campaign to provide strategy for the Democratic National Convention, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to NBC News on Friday.
Spielberg, a longtime support of Biden, has already actively participated in meetings with convention organizers for the August event, the source said. He does not currently have plans to create a film portions for this summer’s events, according to the source, though he did produce a film for then-President Barack Obama’s campaign in 2008.
Puck first reported on Spielberg's involvement. The famed director previously appeared at a Biden campaign fundraiser in the Los Angeles area in December that included Barbra Streisand, director Rob Reiner, recording industry magnate David Geffen and others.
Spielberg’s friend and former DreamWorks business partner, Jeffrey Katzenberg, is also a co-chair of the Biden campaign. Katzenberg also hosted a fundraising meeting at his home during the campaign's December push in the greater Los Angeles area. The Biden campaign is separately in discussions with Obama about appearing alongside his former running mate at a Los Angeles fundraiser in mid-June, a source familiar with the matter told NBC News.
