Featured projects

General Mills turned to Tom Lieberman to develop a special 60-second holiday commercial using existing animation of its beloved equity character, the Pillsbury Doughboy. After mining the ENTIRE canon of Doughboy animation, Tom conceived and pitched, “The Nose Knows.” The spot premiered in a special General Mills-branded segment of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade telecast, and was an immediate hit, with Adweek Magazine naming it the “Best Retail Holiday Spot” of the season.

Humdinger Pictures turned to Liebermania to help conceive, package, pitch and produce a far-reaching documentary that tells the stories of indigenous activists making significant improvements in their own communities on 3 continents. Tom Lieberman was instrumental in securing project funding from global relief organization Compassion International, and also served as field producer on shoots throughout Honduras and Sulawesi, Indonesia, (where he was given the nickname, “Shady,” by sweltering locals finding relief in his shadow).

Writer and director Ali Selim invited long-time collaborator Tom Lieberman to help him develop his feature film debut, Sweet Land. The film, co-produced with featured player Alan Cumming, is rich with period detail set in multiple historical contexts, creating a considerable challenge for a low-budget independent film. Even so, Sweet Land received many honors, including the Film Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature, and placement on the annual “Top 10” lists of numerous publications, including The Los Angeles Times, The Village Voice and Entertainment Weekly

Tom Lieberman has enjoyed many years of collaboration with NEA Jazz Legend Delfeayo Marsalis, helping him develop original musical theater productions for his New Orleans-based Uptown Music Theater. Drawing inspiration from folklore, history, literature, and the distinctive landmarks and cultural traditions of New Orleans, UMT uses the dramatic arts to expose children and adults to meaningful stories that touch their hearts and minds.

Word on the street...

“I was impressed by Tom’s ability to become something of a subject matter expert through self‐directed research and interviews, so that he could ground his perspective and lend credibility to his ideas from the start. He brings a laid‐back and friendly vibe, which complements his depth of talent and professionalism.”

“Tom is a natural storyteller, but more importantly, he is a collaborator. I place him in that rarefied class of talented people populated by Nashville sidemen. He has the chops, and knows how to contribute to make the whole production greater than the sum of its parts.”

“Tom is inquisitive, introspective, collaborative, prepared and incredibly professional in all of our dealings. He has a talent for drawing out the collective wisdom of the group and artfully guiding a project to on-time and successful completion.”

“Tom’s work from the early planning stage to the ultimate execution of all aspects of Dorsey’s centennial commemoration was superb. At every step of the way, Tom demonstrated tremendous talent, energy, creativity and resourcefulness, as well as great determination, an incredible work ethic and tremendous patience and professionalism.”

“We hired Tom for a hands-on video project that required navigating tight deadlines, unexpected hurdles, and moving targets. In addition to being the "calm in the storm", he was able to provide valuable perspective and insight as we moved through the creative and approval processes all the way through production.”

“Lawyers are trained critics and a tough bunch to please, but the Dorsey centennial commemoration has been universally recognized as a real success by our lawyers and staff. I attribute much of that success to Tom’s guidance. He very quickly understood our culture and helped us hit the right notes. I highly recommend Tom Lieberman and Liebermania to anyone undertaking a major creative project. You will be delighted with Tom’s work.”
