In her passionate talk, Hanna tells us how going from being a genetic researcher to a movie director was not such a surprising choice. Afterall, science and science fiction are always intertwined, fuelling each others with new ideas. Hanna received her PhD in Molecular Genetics of Usher Syndrome at the University of Helsinki. Her dream of telling audiences about science through entertainment sent her to Los Angeles, where she got an MFA in Film Directing at the prestigious American Film Institute. Hanna works in fiction, virtual reality and is currently filming a documentary about Finnish disease heritage. She is also a trained dancer, having studied at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire in London.
