Particularly Interested In

My expertise is in drama and blended-genres for features and episodic streaming and premium cable. I can consult on how to navigate a writers room; what to do, and what not to do. And I have a lot of experience adapting books for film and tv. I have two decades of experience to share, so I would love to help emerging writers avoid some of the mistakes I've made.

More about Robin Shushan

Robin left UC Berkeley in her senior year to become a playwright in New York City, where she studied dramaturgy, acting, directing, and theater production at The Barrow Group, Playwright's Horizons, and at HB Studios Studios. As a member of the Playwrights Foundation, Robin developed her first play, Shadow Boxers, that premiered at the Producers Club, with Drea DeMatteo playing her first role as the lead character.

Robin became the artistic director of FatChance Productions, a nonprofit development company for emerging playwrights, where she wrote, directed, and co-produced several plays and staged readings at The Ground Floor Theater in Greenwich Village. When her hit, all-girl rock musical, Prey for Rock & Roll was optioned for film, Robin wrote her first screenplay. PREY premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2003, and was released world-wide in 2004.

Robin moved to Los Angeles to become a prolific feature writer. She joined the Writers Guild of America West in 2006 and the Writer's Guild East in 2017. She has worked for numerous studios and has had several original and adapted screenplays optioned. Robin has worked with directors, Peter Berg, Miguel Sapochnik, Taylor Hackford, Kaz Kiriya, Phil Alden Robinson, Julius Cevcik, and Dustin Hoffman. When Dustin hired Robin to adapt a novel by Scott Turow, he introduced her to David Milch, who hired her to write on LUCK for HBO, launching her television career.

Robin went on to work for Sony, Fox, AMC, and Lionsgate. She adapted Dirty Girl's Social Club, the best selling novel by Alisa Valdes, and sold the pilot to STARZ. Robin's feature adaptation of Marge Piercy's best-selling sci-fi novel, Woman on the Edge of Time is currently in development with Kathryn Grody-Patinkin and 90th Parallel. Kino Lorber is re-releasing PREY FOR ROCK & ROLL for the film's 20-year anniversary, currently in select theaters across the country, and will soon stream on Netflix and Amazon. Robin’s original screenplay, CAPTIVATED, directed by Dito Montiel, and starring Al Pacino and Katie Holmes is currently in pre-production and scheduled to shoot in Italy this winter.
