Timeline

1973

Michael Sucsy (born February 14, 1973) is an American film director, screenwriter, and producer.

He is best known for directing the HBO film Grey Gardens and The Vow.

Sucsy was raised in Connecticut and New York City.

He is a graduate of Deerfield Academy, Georgetown University's Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, where he earned a degree in International Relations, Law & Organization, and the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA, where he received a Masters in Fine Arts.

Sucsy segued from studying international relations to film production via the advertising industry, where he worked for the award-winning agency Cliff Freeman & Partners on the first-ever Staples t.v. ads.

Sucsy then pursued work as a production assistant, an art department coordinator, a production secretary, and an assistant director on feature films, commercials, and music videos in Washington DC, New York City, and Los Angeles.

He later went on to earn a Masters of Fine Arts in film from Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles.

Sucsy then began directing commercials and was soon dubbed by Shoot!

Magazine "as one of the industry's crop of new directors to watch."

1980

It was a critical and commercial success, becoming the eighth highest-grossing romantic drama film since 1980.

In an interview with The Advocate's Jeremy Kinser, Sucsy said for his follow-up to Grey Gardens "I wanted to make something for a mainstream audience."

He was also pleased with the opportunity to work with Lange a second time.

"There are multiple layers to everything she does," he told The Advocate.

"I'm not kidding when I say I'd look over and the grips and prop guys who are obviously watching — but not on the same level that I need to watch — their eyes are bugging out and their mouths are agape. We rewrote scenes and deepened scenes for her because you don't want to waste that kind of talent."

Sucsy followed up The Vow with the film adaptation of the novel Every Day.

2002

He was subsequently nominated for the Young Director of the Year Award given in conjunction with the 2002 Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival.

2003

The day after he first watched the documentary, Sucsy embarked on what was to become a six-year process to get Grey Gardens made.

He used primary sources including Little Edie's personal correspondence, private journals, and poetry as well as interviews with family members and friends as the basis of his original script which traced the Beales' tragic descent from riches to rags over some forty years.

2006

With Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange attached to star as the reclusive mother-daughter duo, the project made its way to HBO who, in 2006, announced that Grey Gardens was moving into production with Sucsy as its director.
