Rraine Hanson

Rraine Hanson is a Jamaican transdisciplinary artist who designs worlds through mixed media to tell stories centering the imaginations of queer and trans people of colour. He is a 2025 Sundance Institute Trans Possibilities Intensive fellow and was previously awarded the 2020 Barbara Hammer Lesbian Experimental Filmmaking Grant for his short film Mooncake. It has since been acquired by OTV and UCLA Film & Television's queer moving image archive. When he’s not experimenting with his own storytelling, he works on other productions helping art departments build a myriad of different worlds. The hands-on crafting experience informs the methodology behind all his personal creative endeavors. He has also curated for publications, exhibits and assisted film festival programming teams as a means to champion other unique, underrepresented makers.
