Jeffrey Lerner is a masterful documentary filmmaker with a keen eye for unearthing the untold stories behind some of cinema's most iconic movies and personalities.

Whether chronicling the emotional rollercoaster of bringing Stephen King's "Carrie" to the screen in "Creating Carrie," or illuminating the real-life inspirations and industry challenges that fueled the making of "American Horror Story" in "Behind the Fright," Lerner's documentaries are renowned for their meticulous research, insightful interviews, and cinematic flair. His ability to seamlessly weave archival footage, candid recollections, and thoughtful analysis creates an immersive experience that transports viewers into the heart of the filmmaking process.
