Anna Hanisch

Directing

Anna Hanisch is a writer and director who loves a ridiculous story. After graduating from Oklahoma State University with a degree in strategic communications, Anna was accepted into the NBCUniversal Page Program in New York. There, she worked fan-favorite late night shows like "The Tonight Show" and "Saturday Night Live." After completing the Page Program, Anna moved to Los Angeles, where she worked as an additional production assistant on "Barbie" and "Joker: Folie a Deux." She then returned to the studio side of the industry as a temp coordinator at Universal Television Drama Development, where she read as many scripts as she could to study her craft. She now lives in New York, pursuing a career in TV comedy writing. If Anna has learned anything, it’s that there is no one path in this industry, but she hopes her destination is a showrunner for comedy series’ much like her favorites: "Derry Girls" and "Fleabag."
