Riding the Waves

Cody Mark Hanna was born in Los Angeles, California. His family moved across the country to upstate NY where he graduated from Hudson Valley Community College with a degree in Engineering Science. Upon moving to North Carolina to continue his education, Cody discovered filming opportunities in Wilmington and became enthralled with the industry. Applying his engineering mindset to the functions of a film set allowed Cody to flourish working in the Assistant Director department of various motion picture and television series. These productions gave Cody the knowledge and skills necessary to produce, write, and direct his projects and collaborate with the Wilmington film community. Cody brings passion and enthusiasm to the set and believes creating motion pictures is the greatest collaborative art form. It combines the talents of diverse artists and craftspeople who work together to create a unified storytelling vision.
