Hannah started making movies at seven years old, filming her family and friends. What fascinated her wasn’t simply recording something. It was discovering that the way images were put together could make someone feel something. She has been chasing that feeling ever since.

As a teenager, she fell in love with film photography and darkroom printing. She went on to study film alongside photography and fashion, initially imagining a life in editing or art direction.

During her final year, a filmmaker and teacher recognized her instincts behind the camera and encouraged her to direct. It changed the trajectory of her work. Hannah began with music videos shot on 16mm and later wrote and directed her debut narrative short, Georgia, which premiered internationally and received recognition on the festival circuit.

Her films are interested in the emotional lives people carry quietly: loneliness, desire, belonging, memory, and the complicated intimacy between people. Her visual language is shaped by the cinema she loves, from Sofia Coppola, Pedro Almodóvar and Wong Kar-wai to Fellini, and Antonioni.

She is currently writing her first feature film.
