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.[7]

In 1999, Lieberman was hired by David Hoberman to work for Mandeville Films.[8] 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.[9] In 2001, he was named one of the "35 under 35" people to watch in the business by The Hollywood Reporter.[10]
