Unveiling Jeffrey Lieber: The Untold Secrets Behind His Masterful Storytelling
I actually, by the time I got my first job, was a film writer. My first seven jobs were all film scripts, one of which was Tuck Everlasting which eventually got made. It wasn’t until three of four years into my career that people started coming to me and saying, “Hey, we’re looking for new voices in television.” I started writing pilots, and that transitioned me back into television.
My arc was I thought I was half‑hour writer. Turned out I’m a joke a page short. Then really wanted to do films, specifically for independent film. Then realized that, for me at least, the television world is much more hospitable to the kind of stories I like to tell. The work environment is much more attractive to writers.
