Film, Theatre, and Motion Capture
Rebecca Hanser is a multi-talented actor, producer, writer, model and director based in London, working in film, theatre, and motion capture. She has gained recognition for her feature films, including Portal to the Abyss (2024), Parasitus (2021), and Blade of the Assassin (2021), as well as her short films such as Third Life Crisis (2023), the award-winning Ghosted (2022), and A Tribute to Frida (2021). Additionally, she contributed to the BAFTA-winning Netflix series The Witcher Season 3, which received accolades for Best Special, Visual, and Graphic Effects.
Passion For Films
From a young age, Rebecca developed a strong passion for films and credits watching movies as a key factor in learning English. Although she initially focused on writing, her interest in acting emerged later. She pursued an impressive academic career, earning a Bachelor’s degree in International Business Management from The Hague University and a Master’s degree in Anthropology and Journalism from Leiden University. To support herself through college, she worked in modelling and hospitality, which also allowed her to travel extensively. As a result, Rebecca is fluent in several languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, German, and French, in addition to her native Dutch and English.
Rebecca Hanser – Projects
Her growing interest in acting led her to several successful projects in Dutch cinema, such as Poolshoogte (2014). This prompted her move to London, where she trained at the esteemed Drama Centre London, earning a Master’s in Screen acting. The program’s unique structure, which paired actor and director students, provided her with valuable behind-the-camera experience. During this time, she became an in-house cast member of The People’s Company, playing the role of Titania in their production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream (2019) in partnership with the Southwark Playhouse. She also toured the UK with the Extreme Improv Comedy Club, directed by David Pustansky. Her passion for Flamenco dance blossomed during this period, culminating in the short documentary Andalusia (2018). Her latest stage performance was in the show “Pigs,” produced by SweinHaus at the Cockpit Theatre in London.
Skill Set
After appearing in the short film Before You Were Born (2017), Rebecca expanded her skill set by training in filmmaking, screenwriting, editing, and producing. She co-produced and wrote projects like Fallen from Grace (2018). Her horror films Panic (2019) and Tormented (2019) achieved success within London’s film festival circuit, receiving praise at the Raindance Film Festival. Rebecca is also dedicated to martial arts, practising Taekwondo, Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu, and Kickboxing, as well as gymnastics and contemporary dance, making her a versatile physical actress known for her abilities in stage and screen combat.
Rebecca Hanser – Directing
She launched her directing career with the short film A Tribute to Frida (2021), for which she handled writing, editing, and acting duties. This experience laid the groundwork for her production company, Visualise Productions. After gaining valuable experience in VFX coordination at post-production firms like MPC/The Mill and Cinesite, and working on Netflix’s The Witcher Season 3, as well as films like The Family Plan and The Union, she decided to concentrate entirely on directing, writing, producing, and acting, establishing Visualise Productions as the core of her creative endeavours. Her most recent project, which she produced and directed entirely, is Third Life Crisis.
