Hannah Kodicek is a director and screenwriter who has worked in film and television for many years, mostly in the UK. Her feature film, A Pin for the Butterfly was shown at many key festivals, and several script commissions followed, but she now prefers to live outside the rat race, in a tiny peaceful place in Bohemia, working mostly as a story editor, and running a writers' retreat.

Hannah's journey to directing and writing was through TV/film acting, broadcasting, puppetry, and theatre. In more recent years, Hannah has also worked in the Multimedia industry, creating and developing several projects part-funded by MEDIA such as a notably a major web-wide interactive storytelling and treasure hunt website called TimeHunt, which won a special jury prize at the  Europrix Top Talent competition in the Interactive Entertainment category at the WSA Worldprix.

The TimeHunt project was a co-production of Wellspring Interactive ltd (UK) and Studio 727 (Slovakia).

Throughout her career, Hannah has also worked as a lecturer, tutor and story-editor, including regular lecturing and tutoring at the pan-European Arista story-editing workshops (1996-2008). Last year Hannah worked as Story Editor on the film The Counterfeiters, which won the Foreign Language Oscar.
