Hello!

 

I'm Hannah, a director and editor captivated by stories of human relationships and the impact of systems and institutions on those relationships. Growing up in a family marked by alcoholism and mental illness, I found humor in dark times, which sparked my love for storytelling.

I also live with a chronic illness, which has shaped my perspective and fueled my passion for creating authentic and empathetic narratives. This unique lens allows me to connect deeply with the human experience and brings a layer of depth and sensitivity to my work.

My films have premiered at festivals like SXSW, Lower East Side Film Festival, and Austin Film Festival (AFF) and have been featured on platforms such as NoBudge and Vimeo Staff Picks. As an editor, I've collaborated with brands such as Dodge, Nike, Popeyes, Southwest Airlines, Capital One, Pizza Hut and Nintendo.

Through directing and editing, I strive to craft compelling stories that spark reflection and meaningful conversations.

Let's connect :)
