Unveiling Jeffrey Lieber: The Untold Secrets Behind His Masterful Storytelling
Jeff: I think it all depends on you as a writer. I know Liz Krueger, who’s one of the creators of “Necessary Roughness,” theme is incredibly important to her. To her it’s the touchstone that allows her to know whether any story belongs in the script. I tend to go from a story point of view and then try to find the theme as I go. I tend to go to the, “What happens next,” school of storytelling. Sometimes seen as incredibly important and sometimes seen as irrelevant.
You have stories that you tell. You tell them in the fashion of this goes into that, goes into that, and then sometime at the end, you go, “Oh. This is all because of x, y or z.” I think you should probably have that, but it’s not what’s required to tell a story.
