She also has a recurring role on Apple TV+'s The Morning Show. On this podcast episode I interview Hannah about her work on The Planters, a quirky, character-driven comedy that won Best of the Fest, Best Cinematography, and Best Song at Nashville Film Festival. Along with Alexandra Kotcheff, Hannah co-wrote, co-directed, co-starred, and co-shot the film. The Planters ended up taking 127 days to shoot, and Hannah and Alexandra were the only crew members on set. Some of the things we discuss include  How to shoot a high-quality film with a two-person crew The camera and lighting setups they used for the film How the stop-motion sequences in the film came together  At the end of the episode you can hear a preview of \u201cYou and Me Together,\u201d the film's award-winning song from Phil Danyew.
