Hansen’s Story

Hansen started his journey into documentary in Pennsylvania, making films that tell the seldom told stories of queer and trans people in rural America. There he saw firsthand the importance of media to change the narrative and make a difference.

The philosophy of Hansen Bursic Film is not only bring to complex and powerful narratives to life but to do so in a way that also centers ethics and care behind the camera. From capturing history of joyful resistance to spotlighting those who are braving new paths in difficult times, our work is a love letter to the people Hollywood often forgets.
