BIO
Jan Eliasberg is a director, screenwriter, and a novelist. Eliasberg’s script W.A.S.P. tells the story of the female
pilots who, for the fi rst time in history, trained to fl y military aircraft. Eliasberg’s The Gemcutter is a magical
family fi lm, a fairy tale in the tradition of A Little Princess. Eliasberg has written two music-driven fi lms: Mi
Corazon for New Line with Jennifer Lopez attached and Heart ‘N Soul (Jerry Weintraub, producer) for Warner
Brothers.
Eliasberg holds an MFA in Directing from the Yale School of Drama, where she mounted critically-acclaimed
productions of Macbeth, Aristophanes’ The Birds, the American premiere of Brecht’s Saint Joan of the
Stockyards, and Ibsen’s Peer Gynt at The Public Theatre, the Manhattan Theatre Club in New York City, Yale
Repertory Theatre, and South Coast Rep.
Eliasberg began directing fi lm as the recipient of a grant from the AFI’s Directing Workshop for Women. Her fi lm,
The Doctor, starring Lukas Haas, won many festival awards and attracted the attention of Michael Mann, who
picked Eliasberg to be the fi rst woman to direct the iconic Miami Vice, as well as Crime Story.
Eliasberg was producer, writer, and director of the acclaimed NBC/Warner Brothers series Sisters. She created
the dramatic series Special Investigations, for ABC/Warner Brothers, and the dramatic series Spirit of St. Louis
for CBS. She has directed pilots for one-hour dramatic series for CBS, ABC, and NBC, as well the fi lm Past
Midnight, starring Rutger Hauer, Natasha Richardson and Clancy Brown, for New Line and USA Network. She
has won the Dorothy Arzner Award, the NAACP Award, and the Imagen Award.
