ABOUT
Prior to founding ThreeAct Partners, Jeffrey Hirschberg’s greatest accomplishment was winning the Brookside Elementary School Spelling Bee — obliterating his long-time rival, Leonard Presberg. After graduating from Cornell and earning a Master’s from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School, he spent ten years in marketing and advertising — culminating in a soul-crushing position as VP, Creative Services for a major Wall Street firm. Drained from overusing the word “synergy,” he became a film professor and founding director of the Television and Film Arts program at SUNY Buffalo State College. Hoping to impress his parents, Jeffrey wrote a book on heroes and villains and directed short films and a half-hour TV pilot that screened at major film festivals.
A WGA member, Jeffrey sold a project to Showtime, was a winner of the WGA Screenplay Reading Series, directed the WGA's TV Pilots Resurrected program at Lincoln Center, and participated in the ABC Daytime Writer Development Program. His debut novel, COMPLETELY INCOMPLETE, arrives next year. He lives with his wife, three boys, and two dogs — Stanley (after Stan Lee) and Kirby (after Jack Kirby), in Upstate New York.
