Ariel Hansen

A connoisseur of horror, Ariel absorbed as much knowledge as she could on the various film sets she worked on as an actor in order to learn how to bring her nightmares to life. The first nightmare she birthed into the world was Ready to Burst, a pregnancy-based horror that acted as her debut as a director and led to her co-founding Bad Cookie Pictures. Since then she’s directed The Man in the Rabbit Mask, Paint the Town Red, Relaxing Rituals ASMR, Nepenthes, Clout, and most recently the Halloween horror Damned Supper. Behind the camera, Ariel seeks to create a collaborative atmosphere allowing those she works with to bring new ideas to the table and contribute to her vision.
