STEPHEN SUSCO, FOUNDATION TRUSTEE

Over the past thirteen years, Stephen Susco has penned and sold over thirty scripts and pitches to major Hollywood studios, and has written for a variety of acclaimed directors and producers. His first film, The Grudge, was produced by legendary director Sam Raimi and was made for under $10 million. The film grossed almost $200 million worldwide in its theatrical release. Both Grudge movies have generated an estimated half-billion dollars of revenue.

Stephen's latest film, Red, starring Brian Cox and Tom Sizemore, premiered at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, and was distributed theatrically by Magnolia Pictures.  

Under his newly-formed banner Zero Hour Films, Stephen co-wrote and produced the comedy High School, which will be released in early 2010.  He has recently re-teamed with Sam Raimi to write The Dorm, which will be filmed in Michigan this Fall.
