Steve Faber was born into a family of magicians who had emigrated from Eastern Europe a long, long time ago. His grandfather, Harry Faber, was a renowned sleight-of-hand artist, and Faber followed in his footsteps by attending UCLA, where he earned degrees in literature and history.
Faber's academic pursuits continued as he went on to graduate from law school, a decision that would later prove to be a tremendous mistake. Despite this, he did learn a valuable lesson during his time in law school: that there is no money in poetry and no poetry in money. This lesson came at a devastating psychological cost, one that would have a lasting impact on his life.
Faber's early attempts at magic failed when the market for both rabbits and hats simultaneously collapsed, and his novel, which he hopes to publish in 2010, has been in the works for some time. In an effort to make a living, he secured a literary agent and began writing for television, specifically in the situation comedy genre.
Over the course of writing a half dozen sitcoms, Faber came to realize that situation comedy was not making him happy. The situations he was writing were not comedic, and this realization was another devastating blow to his psyche.
In an effort to move on, Faber turned his attention to film, writing, pitching, and selling scripts. Some of these projects are currently in production, while others will never see the light of day. Still, others continue to haunt his dreams.
In his free time, Faber enjoys insomnia, taking meaningless drives through the canyons of Los Angeles, and listening to people argue.
