Susan Emshwiller’s worn several hats: filmmaker, playwright, screenwriter, director, set decorator, actress, painter, teacher… undoubtedly because she was raised by writer Carol Emshwiller and sci-fi illustrator, avant-garde filmmaker Ed Emshwiller. Her latest novel, Thar She Blows, is now available. As a set decorator, her “day job” in Los Angeles for many years, she worked with David Mamet, Michael Apted, and happily with Robert Altman on The Player, (in which she is a featured actress) Short Cuts, Kansas City, and Cookie's Fortune. Susan has written screenplays on spec and for hire; most notably— co-writer of the Academy Award winning film Pollock for actor/director Ed Harris. Two screenplays are currently in development. She has written and directed several plays including the critically acclaimed and award winning "Brushstrokes," inspired by paintings of Edward Hopper. Her play "Dominoes" is published by the Dramatists Play Service and “Defrosting Popsicles” by Playscripts Inc.
