DAVID H. STEINBERG (writer, producer, director) entered Yale at
age sixteen and earned his law degree from Duke before abandoning
his legal career to attend USC’s Peter Stark Producing program.
Steinberg’s first spec sale Slackers became a cult classic movie
and he has had ten films produced, including three in the American
Pie franchise, the DreamWorks animated feature Puss in Boots, and
Disney’s Tinker Bell and the Pixie Hollow Games.
As a director, Steinberg wrote and directed the award-winning short
film, “The Babysitter,” starring Academy Award-winner Brie Larson,
and made his feature directorial debut on the romantic comedy Miss
Dial.
In television, Steinberg was nominated for a WGA Award for his work
on The Simpsons, and he has written for a variety of animated and
live-action series. He was the Executive Producer and Showrunner of
No Good Nick, an original series streaming worldwide on Netflix,
and currently has another show in development at Netflix, as well
as films at Disney and DreamWorks Animation.
We chat about breaking into the business, killing your screen
writing babies, being fired, working with his wife, becoming a show

disappointments and expectations.

chat is now out as well (one day after release)! So check them out
