A biography for Susanna Fogelhasn’t been written yet.
“I started really idolizing people like Nicole Holofcener and Whit Stillman.”
“So many of my favorite stories, in any medium, are about friendship. Those relationships are so often just as emotional and complex as any romantic or family dynamics, and yet there's a dearth of resonant, grounded films about platonic bonds in American films.”
“It's been increasingly hard to make small stories about female friendship, and, definitely, those stories don't have any shot of getting a theatrical release.”
“When I was in high school, I was writing a lot. I dealt with my high school angst by writing short plays and short films. I was obsessed with reading 'Entertainment Weekly' and 'Premiere' and 'Movieline' and all those magazines.”
“Friendships have been such an important part of my life both emotionally and logistically.”
“It's become my lifetime passion as a writer to try to show female friendships in the way that I see them, which is as emotional and connected and deep.”
“Men starting out have so many options of filmmakers to connect with artistically and be shepherded by and collaborate with. I just didn't have an older, more experienced me to help me. So I hope all the women making movies now are aware we have the opportunity to be that to new filmmakers.”
