Unveiling Jeffrey Lieber: The Untold Secrets Behind His Masterful Storytelling
Scott: Twenty years ago, nobody would have written an original spec pilot for a TV series. What do you attribute this trend toward writing original spec TV pilots?
Jeff: I think it’s just so hard. When I came out to L.A., the Internet was still fairly a small piece of industry in terms of, how I had an email account, but I think the proliferation of places you can read screen plays, people who now have computers and can think about writing series, there’s just so much material out there that it’s almost impossible to stand out with your full episode of “Game of Thrones.” How do you make that stand out in a way that is so dynamic that somebody will go, “I’ll give you the job?” I think it’s just an adaptation of the industry where if you want to be seen, you have to write something wholly original and yours. Otherwise, you’re just in a pile somewhere.
