Hannah Cohen - Cinematographer, Assistant Director & Documentary Filmmaker

I'm a camera assistant and aspiring cinematographer working across narrative films, documentaries, and live productions in Toronto.

My recent work includes serving as Second Assistant Camera on various productions, specializing in Sony Cinema Line and Blackmagic systems. I also work as a Data Imaging Technician, using DaVinci Resolve and Shotput Pro for data management and processing.

My foundation comes from a BFA in Integrated Media at OCAD University, where I also work extensively with OCADU LIVE. As a CSC Student Member, I'm committed to growing within Toronto's film community while building experience in both post-production workflows and on-set technical roles.
