Actress & Filmmaker
About Me
Hi! I’m Hannah, a student at Carnegie Mellon University, passionate about acting, music, and film production. As a freelance director/producer, I’ve created a handful of narratives commercially and crave authentic storytelling.
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.
