What if you met someone who threatened to turn your safe world upside down?
<p><strong><span class="subhead">Writer and Director Susana Darwin</span></strong></p> <p class="hatboxtext">After studying film production as an undergrad at the University of Iowa, Susana Darwin dedicated more than 20 years to educational/reference publishing, the law, and community organizing before returning to this early and abiding passion. "Hatboxes" is just one of dozens of scripts and story ideas Darwin has in progress, though this film represents both her commitment to compelling storytelling and to a discipline of scale and scope.</p> <p class="hatboxtext">A longtime Chicagoan, Darwin is a Southerner by birth, a writer by daily habit, and an engineer by wishful thinking.</p>
