Hannah Yang is an independent Korean-Canadian Writer & Director from Vancouver, BC. As a second generation immigrant, Hannah has a deep passion for interlacing culture with identity. Her work focuses on themes of self-reflection, culture, and identity.

Her most recent project, Red Light Rebel, explored Korean-Canadian religious culture and was a 2025 Crazy 8s Top 6 selection. Her slice-of-life drama, The Principles of Greenology—containing only five shots—was a selection for the Canada Shorts Film Festival, Hollywood Shortsfest, and a semi-finalist in the Cannes Indie Shorts Awards, solidifying her ability to tell powerful stories with carefully crafted visuals.

Also heavily driven by music storytelling, Hannah has directed music videos for Canadian artists, Teon Gibbs, Serena Sun, and Misha Eyre. She is also the Producer of ‘The Man in the Rectangle’, a Telus Storyhive documentary which has screened at SXSW London and DOC NYC in 2025.

Hannah’s next directorial ventures include a feature-drama in development, and 2025 Vancouver Queer Film Festival pitch winner, ‘Pretty Boy$’.
