Susa Kusche

Susa Kusche, born in Germany in ’72, has been knee-deep in the film industry for ages. You might not spot her face on the screen, but man, her fingerprints are all over some seriously intense projects. She’s the driving force behind movies like “Sum1” (2017), a wild, dystopian ride that throws you down the rabbit hole with paranoia and survival vibes, and “Lauf Junge lauf” (2013), which packs a punch with its heart-wrenching story of a kid just trying to outrun horror during WWII. If you’re into thrillers that get under your skin, “Antibodies” (2005) is her jam, too—dark, gritty, and absolutely not for the faint of heart. Making movies isn’t just her job; it’s in her bones. She juggles those mega-stressful producer and production manager roles, making sure every little detail clicks into place. And get this, she’s been pulling off this high-wire act all while holding down the fort at home. Susa’s been married to Frank Kusche since ’99—over two decades of partnership and, yeah, real life. They’ve got two kids, which means she’s balancing red carpets and school runs, probably running on coffee and sheer willpower. Behind every title on her filmography, there’s grit, hustle, and a sharp eye for stories that actually matter. She’s not just stacking up credits; she’s carving out a legacy. Susa Kusche isn’t some behind-the-scenes name you forget—she’s the quiet force you end up respecting the more you dig. Her work? Not just movies. These are the kind of films that stick with you, long after the credits roll.
