Suzanne Baird
Executive Director, Film & Content
SHARE Studios
Suzanne’s journey started with technology, working in games and VFX, which led her to her first big break into feature films – Starship Troopers. Over the years, she has produced projects throughout studios from Berkeley, LA, New Zealand to Australia and back to Marin County with Industrial Light and Magic, Lucas Film.
Suzanne transitioned to live-action commercials and performance marketing while honing her writing and directing craft. She served as the Director of Creative Operations, at Lieberman Productions. Eventually, Suzanne took the leap into freelancing to focus on writing and directing full-time. She has had the privilege of collaborating with industry leaders like Google, Salesforce, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and KQED, transforming complex ideas into accessible storytelling. Her passion for connecting with audiences led her to write and direct Gin Rummy, an award-winning short film that’s been celebrated at festivals in LA, Seattle, New York, and Italy. Suzanne is currently in production for her feature film while acting as Executive Director, Film and Content for a new media studio.
Suzanne was born in SF. Coming from foster care, she knows how critical a safe, consistent home matters to a life moving forward in a valuable way. Suzanne is proud to champion Raphael House as we work to provide central support throughout the unhoused process—and particularly through our unique partnership with our clients through the Bridge program.
