Terri Hanauer is an accomplished photographer, specializing in natural light photography. She has photographed hundreds of actors (John Glover, Kristen Davis, Mary Kay Place, Rhys Coiro) and her work has appeared in advertisements and on websites.

Her background as an actress and photographer and her love of a great story led her to directing and writing. She directed a short film entitled “A Day in the Life,” which screened at various film festivals; then, she was accepted into the prestigious and highly competitive AFI's Directing Workshop for Womenwhere she adapted and directed Peter Lefcourt's short story, "Recycling Flo". It was chosen by AFI to represent it at the Cannes Film Festival - International Short Film Corner. Along with being 'official selection' in over 25 film festivals, “Recycling Flo” has won two BEST SHORT FILM/JURY PRIZES at the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival and the Farmington Comedy Film Festival. Terri has written the feature version of “Recycling Flo.”

The photography work has helped Terri immensely as she focuses on directing.
