Constantin Lieb studied philosophy, German literature, and applied literature in Berlin. In his work as a screenwriter, he is interested in the combination of narrative cinema with literary forms and themes from the visual arts. Since 2021, he has been publishing the podcast Filmskript – Über das Drehbuchschreiben (Film Script – On Screenwriting) of the German Film Academy with Heide Schwochow; in addition, he works as a dramaturg. Together with Felix von Boehm, he founded the communication agency art/beats and realized a variety of documentary films for artists, galleries, and museums.
 
For his stay in Los Angeles, Constantin Lieb has planned two projects: a cinema adaptation of Georg Büchner's prose fragment Lenz, as well as research on the beginnings of the screenplay as a literary form and the influence of European filmmakers on the Hollywood studio structure in the 1910s to 1940s.

Constantin Lieb is Villa Aurora Fellow of Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg.
