Unveiling Jeffrey Lieber: The Untold Secrets Behind His Masterful Storytelling
If you’re writing spec film to sell, the big way, it’s really about presence. You just pitch, you say, “This is the poster.” The clearer the poster is, you have people to get to page five. After that, it’s up to writing. In TV, it’s all about the world.
I think the one thing that people mistake when they’re writing a TV pilot is it’s aimed at the plot of the pilot. When I go to pitch an idea with somebody, I pitch them the world, I pitch them the characters, I pitch them the long arc. As I’m walking out the door, someone says, “What’s the pilot about?” The pilot is the least important piece when compared to just getting arcs for the show.
