Susan Godfrey
Partner, Development

Susan is the owner and proprietor of The Productive Studios. She was going to be president one day, but instead learned some walk cycles. As a visionary driven to revitalize the animation community, she is a conduit for talented, motivated people and makes it her life's work to facilitate their success. She likes Cuban food and cartoons made for smart girls. She also really likes math, but doesn't care at all for pizza.
