He founded Hidden Pictures Media[2] in 2022 and won an Emmy for Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers in the same year.[3] He co-founded Mandeville Films and Television with David Hoberman in 2002.[4] Mandeville has produced several notable films, including The Fighter, which won two Academy Awards in 2010, and for which Lieberman was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.[5]

Early life

Todd was born to a Jewish family[6] in Cleveland, and grew up in Lyndhurst and Pepper Pike, Ohio. He graduated from Hawken School.[7] and the University of Pennsylvania. There, he was a member of the Mask and Wig Club. He performed with local theatre groups in Ohio before college where he continued to perform, then moving to Los Angeles in 1995. He began there with acting and then moved on to writing, reviewing film scripts, then on to directing and producing.[7] He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1995 where he was a member of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity (Gamma Chapter, Omicron pledge class) and The Mask and Wig Club.[8][9]

Career

Lieberman was Senior Vice President for International Finance at the production company Hyde Park Entertainment, which produced and co-financed films such as Anti-Trust, Bandits and Moonlight Mile. Lieberman established himself at the international sales and distribution company Summit Entertainment, where he progressed, thanks to championing the independent film Memento and acquiring the rights to American Pie.[10]

In 1999, Lieberman was hired by David Hoberman to work for Mandeville Films.[11] After a short hiatus, the two re-formed the production company as Mandeville Films and Television in 2002, with both serving as co-owners and company partners.[12] In 2001, he was named one of the “35 under 35” people to watch in the business by The Hollywood Reporter[13] and was named by the same The Hollywood Reporter as 30 of the most powerful producers in the business in 2015.[14]

His films have accrued several accolades over the years, including a People’s Choice Award for The Proposal, the AFI Movie of the Year Award[15] and an Academy Award nomination[16] for The Fighter, the PGA Award for Wonder, the Hollywood Film Award for Stronger (2017) and an Emmy[17] for Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers.

In 2018, Lieberman was awarded the key to the state of Ohio. [18]

In 2022, Lieberman launched Hidden Pictures, a film and television production company, with a first-look film deal at Lionsgate.[2] Recent projects under the Hidden Pictures banner include Paul Feig’s thriller The Housemaid, an adaptation of Freida McFadden’s novel released by Lionsgate in 2025, the MGM+ television series Robin Hood, which premiered in 2025 and was renewed for a second season in 2026, and the Prime Video documentary series Soul Power: The Legend of the American Basketball Association.[19][20][21] The Housemaid grossed $400.5 million worldwide, and Lionsgate subsequently set a sequel, The Housemaid’s Secret, for release in 2027.[22]

Lieberman also produced the Netflix film War Machine, starring Alan Ritchson, which was released in 2026.[23] The film later appeared on Netflix’s all-time Top 10 Most Popular Movies list, ranking ninth with 139.9 million views.[24]

Lieberman is married to former film producer Heather Lieberman (née Zeegen). Together, the couple have two sons, Jasper and Isadore.[25] He is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, and is a mentor at the Producers Guild of America.
