Hannah Fasick is a writer and director interested in utilizing the deliciously entertaining conventions of genre to facilitate dialogue. Her science fiction short, Built to Howl, won Best Scifi Short at the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival, and was an official selection of the Orlando Film Festival, New Faces New Voices, and Retrospective of Jupiter. She has adapted Built to Howl into a feature length screenplay, which placed as a Semi-Finalist in both the 2022 Finish Line Script Competition and the 2023 Women in Film & Black List Feature Residency. Her pilot, The Futurists, is an official selection of the 2024 Athena Film Festival Episodic Writers Lab.
Her 2022 short Trumpet Bloom is a cinematic essay about the beguiling micro season when LA’s pink trumpet trees bloom. It features the otherworldly track Love is the Tune by Mary Lattimore, a cover of the iconic Bill Fay. Her 2021 short Self Harmonize, shot on Super 8mm, is an uplifting depiction of experimentation with makeup and gender expression that premiered at Silverlake Shorts.
Hannah studied Film & English at Vanderbilt University, and has a decade of experience in film and television production. She began her career with the literary agencies Janklow & Nesbit and Intellectual Property Group, with a focus on book to film adaptation. She spent four years with George Clooney and Grant Heslov's Smokehouse Pictures where she learned an enormous amount about film and television development through reading the glorious slush pile of incoming material, tracking writers and directors, wrangling interns, and preparing pitch decks.
She is currently a Writers’ Assistant for Amazon’s Scarpetta, based on the iconic Patricia Cornwell novels — some of her favorite books of all time. She was also a Writers’ Assistant for Peacock’s hit series Apples Never Fall, a Liane Moriarty adaptation. Prior to that, she was a Showrunner's Assistant for Peter Moffat on both Showtime's Your Honor and AMC's 61st Street.
She is a member of the Alliance of Women Directors, Women in Film, IATSE-871, American Cinemateque, Filmshop, and Film Independent.
