SUSIE FILMMAKER helps filmmakers and artists within the Project Twenty1 community find last-minute resources, answers questions from our community, and connects artists to the people and resources they need to keep producing. To date, Susie has helped connected hundreds of artists around the world and crewed more than 100 films. We cater to wallflowers, so if you’re feeling shy at an event, anyone with a “Hello, my name is Susie Filmmaker” name tag is available to personally introduce you around to our community.

Stephanie Yuhas
(Pictured with a light up “clappy hand” from the 2011 Festival. She broke it less than 10 seconds after this photo was taken.)
Graduate, University of the Arts, Animation, 2004. Head Susie & founder, Stephanie does a whole lot of stuff, and keeps her ears out for opportunities for the Project Twenty1 community, including cast & crew calls and local film industry events. She will also personally introduce you to the room at Project Twenty1 events if you’re feeling shy.
She likes animation, sushi, terrible 90′s techno, and aquariums. So many people think that “Susie Filmmaker” is her real name that she answers to it now. (Sometimes you just have to roll with it, right?)
Caroline Boyd
(Pictured at the 2011 “Friday Night Fright” portion of PFAF)
Graduated University of the Arts, Film, 2011. In addition to helping Project Twenty1 spread” Susie” posters to promote events all over Philadelphia, Caroline assists with online member & participant support and video production at Project Twenty1.
She likes Harry Potter, video games, tennis, and D&D (yes. Dungeons and Dragons. Feel free to mock her).
Aislinn Tomchak
(Pictured with Jason Heffner, longtime 21-Day Filmmaking Competition participant)
Drexel University student. In addition to helping Project Twenty1 spread” Susie” posters to promote events all over Philadelphia, Aislinn assists with online member & participant support and event coordination at Project Twenty1.
Aislinn likes tacos, rubber bands, and mustaches. Ask her about the Taco Bunny.* (*Aislinn was not here when the other Susie’s wrote this description, so it might be only 90% accurate. She might like goatees better)
