Lieberman’s previous films include the documentaries: “The Amazing Nina Simone” and “Re-Emerging: The Jews of Nigeria” which have been seen in more than 100 theatres in 21 countries and currently stream on Amazon, iTunes and a number of streaming services.  “The Amazing Nina Simone” (2015) has been called the best of the three Nina Simone films by The New Yorker Magazine, and  “The Nina Simone film we should all be watching” by Blavity. It was nominated for Outstanding Documentary by The Black Reel Awards and heralded by The New York Times, BBC News and The Hollywood Reporter for its in-depth research into the often misunderstood singer and civil rights activist.  It followed Lieberman’s Academy Award-Qualifying documentary film, “Re-Emerging: The Jews of Nigeria” which was proclaimed as “one of the must-see documentaries of 2013” by New York’s Amsterdam News. 

 

Lieberman has previously held roles as a Co-Executive Producer on Vice’s “Sex Before The Internet”, a Senior Producer at CNN, a CBS News National Producer and a Video Reporter for The New York Post.  At CNN, Lieberman led a team through the production of the Emmy-nominated film: “Taking on Taylor Swift” which had a 2022 primetime broadcast on CNN.  Lieberman has also directed many short films including “In the Mix: 25 Days and Not a Minute More” starring Usher, and the viral election video, “Call Your Zeyde”.  

 

Lieberman is next set to direct the feature narrative entitled “My Harlem” based on his recent screenplay.
