Hannah Hughes is an American actress, musician, and UX manager. She studied theatre at University of Alabama at Birmingham.[1] Hughes has frequently appeared in films by director Adam Wingard, most notably V/H/S2 and Pop Skull. She has held positions at several major Silicon Valley tech companies including Apple and Google, as well as her own company Romp.
Acting[edit]
Hughes first began appearing in shorts filmed in Birmingham, and has been a vocal proponent of acting outside the Los Angeles studio system.[2] She has appeared in more than 15 short films, included several where she played the character Laura Panic.[3]
In 2007 she appeared in the supernatural thriller Pop Skull. She plays the role of Morgan, a young woman who helps guide Daniel through an abrasive psychosis. Created on a budget of $3,000, the feature had a domestic premier at the AFI Film Festival an an international premiere at the Rome Film Festival.[4][5]
Hughes later appeared in the first segment of V/H/S2, called "Phase I Clinical Trials" across from director and writer Adam Wingard. The segment subverts horror clichés included in the first film.[6][7] V/H/S/2 debuted on January 19, 2013 at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival at the Park City's Library Center Theatre.[8] A sequel was released the following year. The V/H/S franchise became the most profitable horror anthology series of the decade.[9]
