Former Austinite named rising filmmaker

Indie film journal Filmmaker Magazine has compiled a subjective list of the 25 New Faces of Independent Film, which includes one-time Austinite and UT alum Susan Youssef.

Youssef, who now lives in Amsterdam, won grants from the Austin Film Society’s Texas Filmmaker’s Production Fund for her projects. She’s currently working on her long-gestating debut feature “Habibi Rasak Kharban,” a “Romeo and Juliet”-type romance based on a 12th century Sufi parable.
