Susan Littenberg - Editor

Meet Susan Littenberg! Susan is an accomplished editor who lives in Los Angeles. She’s been an editor on over 15 feature films including, Charlotte’s Web, Bride Wars, Easy A, 13 Going On 30, and And Everything Is Going Fine, directed by Steven Soderbergh. Susan was nominated for an ACE award for Easy A and she also edited the music doc The Ballad Of Ramblin’ Jack which won a grand jury prize at Sundance among many other awards. Early in Susan’s career, when she was still an Assistant Editor she got to work with directors, Jim Jarmusch, Hal Hartley, Ang Lee, and Paul Auster. Most recently, Susan was a Producer on the award-winning documentary Bathtubs Over Broadway, which examines the quirky world of the corporate musical. Susan currently teaches at UCLA, which is where I met her, at a screening she was moderating that the Bruin Film Society sponsored a film she worked on as the Assistant Editor – The Ice Storm. I was thrilled when I made a point to meet Susan after the screening and asked if she’d share her journey and wisdom on Blissful Spinster and she said “yes!”. We had a wonderful chat full of amazing insights into the craft of filmmaking and storytelling and I’m so happy to be able to share this conversation with you.
