Fox Atomic was formed late in 2005 and is headed by Fox Searchlight Pictures president Peter Rice and President of Production Debbie Liebling. The studio's aim is to provide theatrical and creative content that specifically target teens and young audiences. It also develops new-media content for the Internet, mobile devices, and other emerging technologies.

Before joining Fox Atomic, Lieb held positions at Artisan Entertainment and Lionsgate, where he worked on such films as the Academy Award-winning Crash, as well as The Punisher, Saw, Saw II, The Devil's Rejects, and Hostel. While at Lionsgate Lieb also wrote the story for the comic Saw: Rebirth, published by IDW, for which he devised the previously-untold origin of the Jigsaw Killer.

Lieb graduated in 2001 with a BA from the University of Southern California School of Cinema-Television.
