Suzanne Llewellyn

Suzanne Llewellyn produces the popular podcasts “This Week in Photo” and “This Week in Media” for Pixel Corps.TV, while mentoring new recruits in multi-media production.

In addition to being a producer, Suzanne is also a writer and editor for several Star Wars fan sites, among them Imperial Chicks and Lightsabre, the world’s #1 interview site for Lucasfilm cast and crew members. In her spare time, she coordinates special events, photography and video shoots, and has worked on radio, TV, and indie film projects for WonderCon, ComicCon, MacWorld, MacBreak, Maker Faire, NPR, PBS, and The Travel Channel.

TWiP Producer Suzanne Llewellyn’s earliest creative memories involve her father – who was a real Bozo. Seriously. On TV. In the 1960′s.

Having been brought up surrounded by the radio/television industry, Suzanne would often join her dual TV personality and DJ dad in the studio, checking out the microphones, taping music from stacks of 48′s, roaming the halls and exploring musty store rooms – one of which held a cache of faded scripts and sound check recordings from the Golden Age of Radio.

This eventually inspired her to write and direct a series of audio skits that were performed live on Friday nights by the “Midnight Madness Players” at The Orange – a popular hangout for Syracuse University students in the late 1970′s. She gained valuable experience in the role of producer by negotiating a generous payment plan for the cast and crew’s services by way of audience appreciation, 2 extra-large pepperoni pizzas, homemade brownies, and all the root beer they could possibly drink.

Following that gig, Suzanne worked at several radio stations writing copy, splicing magnetic tape, and (when she could talk the station manager into it) producing parodies and holiday programming tailored to the talents of the on-air staff.

After moving to the San Francisco Bay Area to develop audio play cassettes sold through catalogs, Suzanne taught drama and developed a non-profit educational curriculum for public and private school systems that gave students an opportunity to record a live 1930′s-style juvenile action/adventure radio play at Lucasfilm’s Skywalker Sound facility in Marin County, CA.

In October, 2007, at the urging of a Skywalker Sound staffer, (and on a dare from some of her drama students) Suzanne trained at Pixel Corps to finally make her way into the digital production age.

Her husband Tom Anderson is a certified Geek, lover of all things technological, a former Cypher-Punk, inventor of Flash Photography kits, vintage radio and TV tube tinkerer, glass blower, Perl Monger, would-be mad scientist, and a Maker and writer for O’Reilly’s Make Magazine.
