Chairperson and founder of Su-City Pictures East, LLC, Susan Kouguell, brings her unique perspective and extensive experience to this resource geared to the specific needs of screenwriters, filmmakers, and studio executives, independent production companies and agents.

As a film industry insider, Kouguell knows what executives are seeking, and as a working writer, she knows what feedback works best – tough, honest but fair, without stifling her client’s creativity — while presenting options and ideas to improve the project.

Whether you have an idea for a screenplay and are just starting out — or you’re an experienced filmmaker in need of objective feedback — or struggling through rewrites — or seeking advice on pitching, writing query letters, treatments, synopses, one-sheets, and more — Susan Kouguell works one-on-one with you to make your project a success.

Susan Kouguell has read the very good, the very bad, and the very ugly screenplays, during her 30 years of consulting and teaching, and working as a story analyst, story editor, and writer for film studios and independent production companies.

Su-City Pictures East, LLC’s screenwriting and filmmaking clients have won and were finalists at international competitions, including Nicholls, Sundance, South by Southwest (SXSW), Chesterfield, American Screenwriters Association, Nantucket, Austin Film Festival, and New York Drama League.
