Suzanne McCafferty is a media coach, DGA director, producer, interviewer, and communication expert with more than 30 years of experience across the entertainment industry. As the founder of McCafferty Media Training and McCafferty & Company Productions, Suzanne’s career has included writing, producing, directing, and publicity and marketing. This experience has given her a  deep and unique understanding of what happens both in front of and behind the camera, and what it takes to release a film or launch a series.

Throughout her career, Suzanne has and continues to work  with actors, filmmakers, executives, authors, musicians, and other professionals at all stages of their careers. Her involvement has spanned from early film and series development through Academy Award and Emmy acceptance speeches. Her approach to media training is individualized and holistic, with each private session tailored to the client and situation at hand—after all, no two clients or situations are alike. With the right preparation, they can communicate with confidence, stay present, and still be themselves, knowing their message will be received as intended. 

While the media landscape continues to evolve, Suzanne believes one thing remains constant: audiences can tell when someone is being authentic. That philosophy, along with her collaborative approach, has helped Suzanne build longstanding relationships with major studios, publicity teams, filmmakers, and  actors worldwide. At the core of her work is storytelling with intention—helping clients get their message across clearly, all while making their job easier.
