About Susan Lee
As a director, Susan considers herself Tarantino jacked up on estrogen. Whether creating award-winning theater projects or developing dark, twisted action films, Susan takes great pride in challenging the perception of what a woman “should” do. Her short film, “Mastermind”, world-premiered at Comic-Con and is currently online as a limited web series. Her fine art background has taken her into the realm of comic books currently, releasing her first comic book, “Wraith of Love”, a dark, noir book that explores abuse and redemption, which will be a feature film in 2015. More at home playing in the boy’s club sandbox as opposed to the chick flick realm, Susan hopes to prove that just because you have boobs doesn’t mean you can’t kick ass.
