Silberling studied film directing at the UCLA Film School. He managed to start his career within the entertainment industry before completing his studies. In 1986 he got a job as a production assistant for a children's television program. From there, he progressed to direct episodes of major television series and, eventually, films.

He was dating actress Rebecca Schaeffer at the time of her murder in 1989 by an obsessed fan.

In 2006, Silberling's movie 10 Items or Less was the first movie in history to be made legally available for download while it was still in theaters. This was made possible through ClickStar and his close relationship with owners Morgan Freeman and Lori McCreary.
