Myrl Schreibman began his career as a child actor with The Cleveland Playhouse appearing in productions such as Critics Choice and Sunrise at Campobello. In his teenage years he worked in theater during the summer all over Ohio where he appeared in shows such as “The Music Man” (starring Bobby Vinton), “Finian's Rainbow,’ and “Best Foot Forward” (starring Paul Peterson). He went on to study for a period of time with Uta Hagen at The Herbert Berghoff Studios in New York where he continued his acting, taking classes at different times from Stella Adler and other illuminaries of the theater. He decided to get his college degree and enrolled at UCLA where he received his Bachelors in Theater with a specialization in Film and Television (only this time behind the camera). His classmates included Rob Reiner, Jim Morrison, Alan Daviau, Colin Higgins, Dan Gordon, Jeff Margolis, Louis J. Horvitz (with whom he was a roommate). He continued his study in the Master of Fine Arts Degree Program in Theater with a specialization in Film and Television at UCLA at a time when the program only accepted four candidates a year. Francis Ford Coppola was a couple of years ahead of him. Here he studied with faculty that included Norman Jewison, James Wong Howe, Norman Corwin, Viola Spolin, and Marcelle Marceau. He also met and was given the opportunity to observe the legendary film director Jack Arnold (“Incredible Shrinking Man,” “Creature from the Black Lagoon,” “It Came From Outer Space,” and “The Mouse that Roared’) and after graduating from UCLA he continued (his study) for the next several years only now at the side of his mentor Jack Arnold. During that time he got on the job experiences in various aspects of producing (including a stint as a cost controller for Sam Goldwyn Studios), and he produced his first feature film at the age of 28. Schreibman’s career has been thought of as an adventurous journey with stops along the way (writing THE INDIE PRODUCERS HANDBOOK, CREATIVE PRODUCING FROM A - Z is his latest stop.) He has continued his love for teaching the entire time he has been on his professional journey, first by helping to establish the film/TV program at Cal State University Northridge, then introducing film and television to Moorpark College and then finally as a faculty and administrator at where his original training began: UCLA. His work as a director continued throughout this period in theater, film and television and he was the first to bring cinematic visual techniques to the concert stage. Performance and telling the story has always been the underlying foundation of his work and his teaching: from directing classes, producing classes, and even in a workshop he privately ran for ten years in a cold-reading technique that he developed and is now used by hundreds of actors today. All of this continues today with new stops along the way. Highlights of his career can be seen in his biography below:
