Stephen Susco
Over the past twelve years, Stephen Susco has written and sold over thirty scripts and pitches to New Line Cinema, Warner Brothers, Dimension, Miramax, Universal, Sony, United Artists, Lionsgate, Rogue Pictures and Paramount Studios, and has written for a variety of acclaimed directors and producers (including Mike Nichols, Taylor Hackford, Quentin Tarantino, Ted Demme and Sam Raimi).

His first produced film, THE GRUDGE, which was made for under $10 million, grossed almost $200 million worldwide in its theatrical release. Stephen is currently prepping his directorial debut, WHITE, for Rogue pictures, and is creating a new series based on the film FLATLINERS for Sony Pictures Television and producer Michael Douglas. He is also producing three of his other scripts: THE DYBBUK BOX, with Sam Raimi; ZERO.DARK.THIRTY, which begins production in the Summer of 2008; and RED, based on the novel by Jack Ketchum, which will have its world premiere at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.
