Liz Tigelaar’s “Little Fires Everywhere” writers’ room was on the Paramount lot, a central point between herself and many of her Eastside writers. But when the show wrapped, she wanted to move her space closer to home in Venice Beach. Her new location, into which she moved in January, is now only blocks from the beach, as well as her son’s school. The second-floor space includes a balcony where she, her writers and her dog Frites can collaborate. “I’ve been all over for so many years of my career, but now I just feel like I get to work at home,” she says.
Artist of Another Kind
Tigelaar doesn’t just write and produce, she also likes to paint, and back in 2005 she was starting to play with texture and using different materials in her pieces. That was also when “American Dreams,” a period drama on which she was a writer,...

“We’re a show that’s grieving right now on multiple levels,” said Liz Tigelaar during the Little Fires Everywhere writers panel on the final day of Atx TV…from the Couch!.
She first paid tribute to fellow Little Fires executive producer and director Lynn Shelton, who passed away in May from complications of a previously unidentified blood disorder. “We’re grieving for Lynn Shelton, our executive producer, who directed four of the eight episodes, whom we tragically lost very suddenly. We’re grieving for her family, for her friends, for her colleagues, and for her films that we’re not going to get to see, all the work she was still yet to do,” said Tigelaar.
“We’re also grieving with the country for the life of George Floyd, all the black men and women who’ve been murdered simply for being black, said Tigelaar, turning her attention to current events.
