Stacie Hansen is a Canadian actress, director, and writer. She began her career as a child actress, making her debut as Harley in Alive (2021), a short film she also wrote and directed. She continued to establish herself in the industry by co-directing and starring as Kimora in The Celebration (2022), which won the Audience Choice Award. Her most recent role was playing Martina in A Twist of Tea (2022). Hansen officially entered the world of directing in 2021 after submitting Alive to a local film festival. Since then, she has directed multiple short films and expanded her work into new genres.
Born in Calgary, Alberta, Hansen was seven years old when she booked her first role. She comes from a creative background-her mother, Tanya Hansen, was a permit extra in several popular shows in the '90s, most notably The Commish (1991). Inspired by her mother's involvement in the industry, Hansen pursued acting and later expanded into filmmaking. In 2022, she founded NPC Productions, her own production company.
Hansen's first film role was as Cell Group Child #1 in The Mayflower II (2020). After taking a nearly five-year break from acting, she returned with a renewed focus on making it her career. Prior to acting, she was a competitive dancer for twelve years, winning her first competition in 2016 at the age of eight. She later earned the title Miss Dance Icon at the 2019 Thunderstruck competition in Las Vegas and performed in the Disneyland Parade and Showcase in 2020. Following that experience, she made the bold decision to leave dance behind and fully commit to acting and filmmaking.
In 2021, Hansen filmed Alive entirely on her cellphone before submitting it to a local film festival. The following year, she collaborated with a team of adults to create The Celebration (2022), which received an Audience Choice Award. That same year, she participated in a 48-hour film challenge, where she and her team were assigned the genre Sci-Fi, the prop green crepe paper, and the directive to imitate Tim Burton's style. The project garnered local media attention, further establishing Hansen as a rising talent in the industry. (westernwheel.ca)
In 2023, Hansen wrote and directed Bystander, her first Action/Thriller film, which became her first project to be officially selected for a film festival. That same year, she was featured in the mini-series Red Cars and Stop Signs, directed by Tanya Hansen.
In 2024, Hansen continued expanding her portfolio, starring in The Stolen Artifact, an entry into the 48-hour film challenge, and Live, an entry into the 24-hour horror film challenge.
