Unveiling Jeffrey Lieber: The Untold Secrets Behind His Masterful Storytelling
Scott: Some craft questions for you. Let’s say you’re going to write a feature spec or you’re going to spec a TV pilot. How do you come up with story ideas?
Jeff: In spec development, it’s all about concept. Spec films…let me step back here to the spec films. There’s the kind I wrote to get noticed which were small independent quirky world, and they were all about character and I’d just stuck to things I was passionate about. In one case, it was a story about a kid whose father passes away, who creates for himself, an imaginary version of a superhero to replace his father. It was actually a really dark script, so it sounds like a teen comedy, but it wasn’t. The other was this story about his college friend comes back. It was attractive and what people liked about them was that my voice was pretty specific and they bought it.
