Stephen Belber

Whether conducting over a hundred interviews during the creation of The Laramie Project, (Emmy nomination for the HBO film), or penning the role of Tobi Powell for his Broadway debut Match, (Tony nomination for Frank Langella, film-acted by Sir Patrick Stewart), or serving as a writer/consulting producer on the Edie Falco series Tommy, Stephen Belber brings to life characters on a diligent search for solace, redemption and meaning. And while his range varies from the docu-fiction HBO prison drama O.G. (Tribeca Film Festival Best Actor Award for Jeffrey Wright), to the “whacked-out romantic comedy” Management (Jennifer Aniston/Woody Harrelson), to his pre-#MeToo consent play Tape, (536 productions and counting), his work inevitably navigates how the lingering reverberations of one's past inspire, torment, and are rarely more than a breath away from the present.
