I’m Dana Hoggan—
A filmmaker, a truth-teller, a time traveler through memory and emotion.
I carry my history like fragile, luminous, and genuine film stock.
I don’t wait for permission to tell my stories—because I already lived them,
and now I’m crafting the real.
I’ve made peace with ghosts.
I’ve turned ache into beauty.
I’ve taken heartbreak, loss, and longing—and transformed them into something sacred on screen.
I cut my teeth on photochemical film and still believe in the magic of analog.
I know the power of light through a lens,
of a cue hitting at just the right moment,
of an electric guitar screaming its truth from the center of a soul.
