In 1989, Silberling and young actress Rebecca Schaeffer were romantically involved when she was murdered by a fanatic admirer.
Silberling hosted a tearful memorial service held at the Warners Ranch, then later married actress Amy Brenneman, whom he met on the set of "NYPD Blue".
In 2002, Silberling produced and directed his first script, "Moonlight Mile." This deeply personal drama was Silberling's response to the tragedy of Schaeffer's death.
Silberling had first written a draft of the script in 1993, in part as a way to process his own experience.
Nonetheless, Silberling was able to direct each shot to the appropriate few seconds of the song, and when he and editor Lisa Churgin met to edit the sequence, they found themselves happily shocked.
Silberling is most proud of "how unusually people express affection and love to each other in the film, and how you feel it as an audience.
