Suzanne Hayes' first audition led to her first role in the SAG independent film, War Eagle, Arkansas. She then moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting only to discover a love of screenwriting. She has gone on to receive a BA in Creative Writing (with an emphasis on screenwriting) and a MA from Goldsmiths, University of London in Scriptwriting.
Hayes has completed her own projects: a SAG mockumentary short, a children's feature film based on a beloved book series, and a musical play with co-writer, Ellie Sorota.
