Susannah O'Brien, Ph.D. is the President/CEO of the feature film and television company, Sahara Vision Productions. Born and raised in Fort Thomas, KY, Susannah moved to Sarasota, FL at age 17 and has been living in Los Angeles since early 2015.

O'Brien started out as a counseling psychologist before transitioning into entertainment. This experience would serve her greatly in her transition to talented writer and filmmaker. Working with and analyzing the human psyche has helped her to create realistic characters and understand their motivations. At the helm of Sahara Vision Productions, O'Brien has a number of projects in development focusing on the horror and drama genres. She has stated that Alfred Hitchcock is a big influence on her style of filmmaking.

(January 2016) O'Brien's debut feature film Encounter, came to theaters, distributed by Hanover House. Encounter is a horror film written, directed, and produced by O'Brien.

(May 2016) Her latest films The Doll (starring human Barbie Valeria Lukynova) and Hallucinogen, have finished production and are coming to audiences soon.
