Susan Klos
Susan Klos came from New York in 1975 to attend the American Film Institute as a fellow in cinematography, but she put her budding career behind the camera on hold when she started a family. In 1978, she formed Big Time Picture Company, Inc., her post production business which grew into the Westside?s first independent post production facility including editing suites, Avid and Final Cut digital equipment rentals, Apple computer sales as a Professional Video Value Added Reseller specializing in Final Cut systems, and digital post production technical support and consulting.
Several hundred films have posted at Big Time over the years including Oliver Stone?s Academy
Award winning “Born on the Fourth of July,” six John Frankenheimer films including “Ronin,” two
Sam Raimi films including “A Simple Plan,” several Farrelly Brothers films including “There?s
Something About Mary,” Nancy Meyers?s “What Women Want,” and the documentary classics,
“Dogtown” and “Riding Giants.”
Susan is also executive producer for the documentary “Lost Angels.” Produced by Agi Orsi
(“Dogtown” and “Riding Giants”) and directed by Thomas Napper (assistant director “The
Soloist”), “Lost Angels” chronicles the lives of many residents of Skid Row who were cast as
extras for the feature film “The Soloist,” starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Fox. It shares
stories of the camaraderie, compassion, and humor experienced on Skid Row – the very
qualities that help create the area?s unique sense of community. “Lost Angels” premiered at the
2010 Los Angeles Film Festival to rave reviews.
Susan also wrote the dramatic feature screenplay, VOICES, to help her come to terms with her
daughter?s diagnosis of schizophrenia. VOICES has won many screenwriting competitions
including first place in the New Hampshire Film Festival and Chicago ScriptWorks. She is
packaging the script and seeking financing as an independent film.
Susan is an associate member of the American Cinema Editors, member of the AFI Alumni
Association, Film Independent, Women In Film, the National Association of Women Business
Owners, the Alliance of Women Directors and the Digital Cinema Society. She is also a recent
graduate of the UCLA Anderson School Management Development for Entrepreneurs program.
Susan stays dedicated to issues surrounding mental health through involvement in Daniel's
Place and NAMI, the National Alliance for Mentally Ill.
