Alison Hanson is an actress, writer and producer.

Alison grew up in Marin County, CA and graduated from UC Irvine's undergraduate theater department. From there she moved to New York City, San Francisco, finally settling in Los Angeles.

She has performed in New York at Lincoln Center's Rose Theater (Much Ado About Nothing, The Rover), at The Culture Project's @ 45 Bleeker (Einstein's Dreams), and on the Island of Alcatraz in San Francisco (Hamlet).

Usually known for her dramatic roles, Alison recently took a star turn in comedy for the viral video "Namaste the F#%k Away From Me" as her sketch character Angry Yoga Teacher from the web series Don't Call it 'Frisco.

Alison's award-winning films include the documentary, "Back to Bosnia," (Amnesty International & AFI Fest), the short film "Apparition" (LA Shorts, Miami Shorts, and Mexico International - winner of the Bronze Palm). Her first feature narrative, "Knowing Nothing Cold," premiered at the Defy Film Festival in Nashville, and screened at multiple festivals around the country, garnering awards for Best Ensemble and Best Narrative Feature.
