Director Hannah Bon has come aboard the roster of Riff Raff for representation in the U.S. and U.K. spanning commercials, branded content and music videos. She had previously been handled in the U.S. by Black Dog Films for music videos and select branded projects.
Bon was born in Japan, raised in Holland, the U.K. and Brazil and is currently based in Los Angeles. Her cinematic work is inspired by her Japanese heritage, bold color, fashion and surrealism, and leans into an unconventional, strange, and sensorial world.
Bon is able to toggle between eccentric tongue-in-cheek and subtle and visceral style. Constantly exploring new techniques to incorporate into her work, she’s currently obsessed with 3D animation/modeling.
Bon has worked with Warner Records, RCA and Columbia Records and has recently directed music videos for artists such as Q, Ricky Montgomery and Isaac Dunbar.
Her film, Paired Flowers, received a Silver at the 1.4 Film Festival and her film, REPLICA, won Best Fashion Film at the Aesthetica Short Film Festival.
Bon speaks English, Dutch, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.
Matthew Clyde, managing EP, Riff Raff, said, “Hannah and I were late…to both of our meetings, after a series of WhatsApp’s, mainly containing ‘???,” we eventually found our way to a coffee, twice. I knew from her website she was the right fit for Riff Raff, and once we sat at a table I was convinced. We welcome Hannah as part of our L.A. family bringing that rare sensibility of off-kilter cool that is both genuine and inclusive. Multi-lingual, multi-faceted, singular vision.”

State District Court Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the case against Baldwin halfway through a trial in July based on the withholding of evidence by police and prosecutors from the defense in the 2021 shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film "Rust."
The charge against Baldwin was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it can't be revived once any appeals of the decision are exhausted.
Special prosecutor Kari Morrissey recently asked the judge to reconsider, arguing that there were insufficient facts and that Baldwin's due process rights had not been violated.
Baldwin, the lead actor and co-producer on "Rust," was pointing a gun at cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during a rehearsal when it went off, killing her and wounding director Joel Souza. Baldwin has said he pulled back the hammer — but not the trigger — and the revolver fired.
The case-ending evidence was ammunition that was brought into the sheriff's office in March by a man who said it could be related to Hutchins' killing. Prosecutors said they deemed the ammunition unrelated and unimportant, while Baldwin's lawyers alleged that they "buried" it and filed a successful motion to dismiss the case.
In her decision to dismiss the Baldwin case, Marlowe Sommer described "egregious discovery violations constituting misconduct" by law enforcement and prosecutors, as well as false testimony about physical evidence by a witness during the trial.
Defense counsel says that prosecutors tried to establish a link... Read More
