Hello! I’m Hannah Koonce, a first-year Documentary Filmmaking major at the illustrious Spelman College. My filmmaking journey began in elementary school when I used my American Girl dolls to create stop-motion videos. Over the years, I explored various roles in the communication industry, including journalism and broadcast journalism.

​

During my junior and senior years of high school, I attended the Career and Technology Center (CTC) in Frederick, Maryland, where I participated in the TV/Multimedia Production program. This experience ignited my passion for directing and prepared me for a career in filmmaking. At CTC, I had the opportunity to compete in film competitions and refine my skills.

​

I am also an Adobe Certified Professional in Digital Video Using Adobe Premiere Pro. As a storyteller, I aim to create films that prioritize accurate representation and impactful narratives. Committing to Spelman College was my way of choosing to change the world, and I’m dedicated to doing just that through my craft.​
