About

I am Hanna Andersson, a film director and 1st AD with a knack for getting to the heart of a story. I have directed fifteen shorts and documentaries that have been shown at festivals and on SVT, and I run my own freelance company producing, filming, editing and doing still photography for artistic and commercial projects. My clients include SKH, Greenpeace, Settings, the Stockholm School of Economics, several theatres and private individuals.

As a screenwriter I have written feature and short film scripts with support from SFI and the Swedish Arts Council. I enjoy archival research and have contributed as a writer and script editor to the UR series Jetzt Grammatik; I also work as a lecturer in film directing and acting at SKH and other theatre academies across Europe, supervising graduation films and on-set work as 1 AD for projects like Young Royals, Top Dog and Alla utom vi.
