LOS ANGELES, CA September 26, 2008 - Looking Glass Films has signed director Suzuya Bobo for exclusive US spot representation. This is her first commercial production affiliation. Most recently, Suzuya helmed a spec spot marking the onscreen debut of supermodel Cole Mohr (the face of Marc Jacobs' new campaign for men and women). The spot was co-produced by artist Natalie Rodgers, and shot in New York city's Lower East Side. A CalArts Accelerated Grad Alumni from Plano, TX, Suzuya has already made a name for herself with a series of short and long form film and Web projects she has written, directed and produced.

She got her podcasting start while working with Tikibartv.com and subsequently was profiled in a four-page Vanity Fair center foldout article entitled "Who Needs a Network?" Suzuya's drive to direct took her to Zambia with Anna Ouroumian (CEO of the Academy of Business Leadership). It was on a return flight from Zambia that she met Guterman. "Meeting June was an amazing breath of fresh air," the director recalls. "I was embarking on my first feature and she gave me some great advice, I knew then and there that I wanted an opportunity to work with such a strong, smart, experienced producer."

Among the director's current work on the Web is The Rory Story, a hyper-reality Internet series chronicling the adventures of recording artist Rory, as she records and tours to promote her EP entitled "Catch me if you can". The series can be found on www.RORYMUSIC.com

Suzuya Bobo joins a diverse and distinguished Looking Glass Films roster comprised of David Mamet, David Nutter, Alek Keshishian, Alfonso Arau, Jean-Jacques Annaud, Steven Antin, Danny Boyle, Kerry Conran, Chad Einbinder, Renny Harlin, Anjelica Huston, Marc/Andy, Francine Mcdougall, Marine Panossian, Roman Polanski, Chris Rock, Mark Simmons, and Cliff Watts.
