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 also wrote the dramatic feature screenplay, "Voices," to help her come to terms with her daughter's diagnosis of schizophrenia. "Voices" has won many screen writing 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 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 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.
