Through podcasts, interviews, social media platforms, and digital outreach, Hannah openly shares her life experiences, creative journey, and faith-based message to encourage and uplift people from all walks of life. She believes every story has the power to touch hearts, transform lives, and create positive change in society. Her mission is to write books and develop audio stories, illustrations, AI-generated content, animated productions, and cartoon projects that inspire audiences of all ages and backgrounds. She is passionate about transforming these creative works into reels, teasers, trailers, short films, feature films, documentaries, television productions, and global media projects that can reach audiences worldwide. Having personally experienced both hardships and victories throughout her life journey, Hannah has developed a deep compassion for the brokenhearted, the suffering, the marginalized, and those persecuted for their Christian faith. She desires to be a voice for the unheard by sharing stories often hidden in silence, pain, and injustice. Through storytelling, film, media, and emerging technologies, she hopes to bring comfort, hope, awareness, inclusion, and positive transformation to communities around the world. Her work focuses on humanitarian and social issues, including Christian persecution, discrimination, bullying, harassment, women's rights, children's rights, civic rights, human rights, freedom of religion, and access to education. Hannah strongly believes that God brought her from Pakistan to Canada for a greater mission and purpose. Throughout her journey, she has received prophetic encouragement and confirmations regarding her calling, with many comparing aspects of her life journey to Biblical figures such as Esther, Moses, Daniel, Joseph, and David. Through prayer, faith, and life experiences, Hannah believes God has taught her how to share meaningful stories that can reach the right people at the right time through social media, film, and modern technology - opening hearts and minds, inspiring change, creating opportunities, empowering individuals with and without disabilities, and strengthening families and communities. Through all her work, Hannah strives to uplift, educate, inspire, and leave a lasting legacy for present and future generations. To fulfill this vision, Hannah actively seeks opportunities to collaborate with producers, directors, actors, television networks, production companies, ministries, churches, pastors, ministers, private organizations, government organizations, non-profit organizations, investors, and creative teams who share a passion for bringing meaningful and impactful stories to life.

Peter Vermeulen

Peter Vermeulen is Canadian based, with a Bachelor of Music, and is a singer, songwriter, and worship artist. I joined Hannah Rita's team after learning about the persecuted church in Pakistan. Hannah has a prophetic gift and dreamt that her church was in grave danger. A few days later terrorists bombed her church during a service, killing men, women, and children. A movie script called Hannah's Dream has been written telling the true story. The script has won awards. I joined the production team to write the music for The Promise, which is part of the story and will be in the movie. Hannah, having immigrated to Canada, sensed that her mother was very ill in Pakistan. No one from her home country wanted to worry her by telling her of her mom's condition. The death of her mother caused Hannah to promise to turn her life around, something her mom had always prompted her to do.

Jason Barbeck

Jason Barbeck is a Canadian executive director, actor, and producer from the CIFF film industry. Executive director, actor/producer Jason Barbeck said of the script, "Hannah's Dream takes you on a journey of not just self-discovery but revelation of one's spiritual walk. It is a glimpse into where we might be heading when we embrace our faith in something bigger than ourselves. This screenplay was well received and our audiences at CIFF look forward to seeing the movie one day. A very inspirational piece." He also shared, "After reading the logline and synopsis, I felt we must all support this story to make a film soon. This is today's real-life issue which needs to be addressed worldwide."

Princilla J

Princilla J is a UK based mentor and advisor. I acquired a BA in Business Administration in the UK and went on to complete the Prince2 Practitioner training in Project Management. Working in the voluntary and local government sectors, and supporting homeless clients, gave me a good understanding of the discrimination and injustices affecting communities in many different ways. At the same time, I understood how to empower individuals and families to build sustainable communities. I completed a Leadership Management course which provided me with the tools necessary for effective leadership, organisation, and management of a team. I am applying the knowledge gained through my qualifications, life experiences, and other transferable skills for the furtherance and success of Hannah's Dream. I mentor Hannah where I can; prepare funding applications, proofread, sense check, support networking and promotional activities, and get stuck in wherever I can make a difference to the project. I feel privileged to be part of the great work God is doing through Hannah and look forward to this exciting journey ahead.
