Say hello to Jennifer Suhr- Director of Saeng-Il (Birthday) A first-generation Korean American, filmmaker Jennifer Suhr hails from a small town in Illinois where she got her creative career started as a classically trained cellist. After fleeing the suburbs, she received her B.A. from Yale University studying American Studies and Ethnicity, Race, & Migration. As an MFA candidate at New York University’s graduate film program, she has made several short films and is now developing two feature length projects. Prior to NYU, Jennifer worked in independent film doing development and editing for commercials and documentary. She now resides in Brooklyn, NY.     If you could have a drink with a character from any movie; who would it be and why? I would love to get an age-appropriate drink with Dawn Wiener from “Welcome to the Dollhouse”. I just think she’s such a compelling character: in so many ways totally clueless, but also surprisingly ballsy, imaginative, and resilient. I would love to pick her brain, maybe get some fashion advice, and also give her an opportunity to just gripe about anything she wanted to.
