She's a Star

REEL LADIES MEMBER - DANA HANNA
Dana Hanna was born in New Jersey but spent her teen years in sunny South Florida. It was there that she decided to pursue her love for acting. After landing several agents, appearing in numerous local and regional commercials, music videos and indie films, she decided to take the big leap to HOLLYWOOD CALIFORNIA!

She soon discovered that she not only had a passion for acting, but also loved creating magic behind the scenes. Her very first producing job was a music video, HONEY CHILD (see below), which aired for several years on BET. August 2008 she wrote and produced her first short, LEND A HAND (see below), which was chosen as a finalist in the Allstate Be Reel contest for the American Black Film Festival. It was the directorial debut for veteran actor, Gary A Sturgis, and it is still a part of the All State “Beyond February” campaign.

Her second short, WEIGH MONEY (trailer attached), premiered in LA at the REEL Ladies Spring 2009 Short film Showcase. She co-wrote it with her business partner, Joy Sudduth and it is still making its rounds on the film festival circuit. It was most recently accepted into the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival in December. It will also air on BadamiTv nationwide in the upcoming weeks. With the forming of her production company, JOYFUL DAY PRODUCTIONS, Dana feels she is embarking on a new and exciting journey, and although she continues to audition on a regular basis, she feels that producing is where her big break is going to come.
