Unveiling Jeffrey Lieber: The Untold Secrets Behind His Masterful Storytelling
Scott: What’s a typical day like when the series is in production?
Jeff: Yeah, in the middle of the schedule of a 13 episode order. When you’re in the middle of that order, you are, let me see how I can do this correctly, you are editing episode two, you are shooting episode four, you are writing the scripts for episode five, you are breaking the outlines for episodes six, seven and eight. You are, in any given day, doing the story for possibly five or six episodes in one form or the other. You are watching casting tapes. It’s a little hectic on some mornings. You come in. You spend the morning from 7:30 to 10:00 dealing with phone calls, talking to your line producer, walking in after the first scene before they shoot it and so on and so forth. At 10:00, you sit down in a room with the writers and hopefully are able to debrief them as to what’s going on, give them some direction as to what the room has to do in a given day, ask them to break the following story‑lines and so on and so forth. If you can, you’re in there for a couple of hours.
