Actress & Filmmaker

Attending Carnegie Mellon, Hannah studies Film Production, Drama and Entrepreneurship. She sings, plays 5 instruments, and performs in local indie-rock bands.

In Summer 2025, she worked in Los Angeles as a Sales Assistant at Arclight Films—an award-winning production and international distribution company with over 300 films sold, including the Best Picture Oscar® winner Crash.

And, she just was a dayplayer actress in CANON OF GRIMWARD, a new serial sitcom/fantasy hybrid TV show.

She’s obsessed with fun comedy-thrillers that carve out strange, beautiful worlds with sharp twists. Let’s collaborate!

New Product Company

In March of 2025, I played “E” in Pool, No Water with New Product Company, and created a series of marketing videos. A glamorous artist (E) invites her old friends—once collaborators, now competitors—for a weekend at her lavish new home. When an unexpected accident turns celebration into crisis, the group finds inspiration in tragedy… and quickly spirals into moral murk.

At New Product Company (NPC), I also played a key role as Marketing Manager/Video Producer for “My First Play”. In the Summer of 2024, I managed all social media platforms, created digital marketing campaigns through meta, secured sponsorships, and coordinated media coverage for 40,000 local Pittsburgh viewers in targeted ads. In addition, I produced professional video content that highlighted NPC’s vision . These efforts contributed to sold-out performances, with 226 tickets sold over two nights.

I also played CHILD in Youtube.com/the-Family-family, which delved into the lives of YouTube influencer families, examining the relationship between childhood, content creation, and real life. Written & directed by Spencer Byham-Carson.
