Susie Klein is an artist and filmmaker who received her B.F.A. from Rhode Island School of Design and her M.F.A. from New York University. Her animated films have shown most notably at the Hirshorn Museum in Washington D.C., the Heliotrope Theatre in Los Angeles, the Angelika Film Center, Collective for Living Cinema and Anthology Film Archives in New York City, and on PBS/Channel 13's "Independent Focus".

She has also had the good fortune of working with many notable animators, filmmakers, musicians and theater and film groups. Among other projects, she co-conceived, co-animated and shot live-action for an alternative music video, "Fruitless" for the band Poi Dog Pondering, was an animator on John Canemaker's Academy Award winning documentary "You Don't Have to Die", and taught animation to children at the Rhinelander Children's Center in New York City. Through her association with FilmCrash, her films were commissioned for John Moran's opera, "The Manson Family" performed at Lincoln Center's Serious Fun! Festival and Hugh Esten's "Jungle Movie", performed at One Dream Theater in Tribeca. In collaboration with Michael Montes, she created the five minute film "The Steep and Thorny Way" for music composed by Zoar and "Nocturne", a 2 1/2 minute experimental film, also with music by Zoar.

While she still has many film ideas slowly simmering in the back of her mind, presently, her focus is drawing and illustration.
