About Us
Uness Films is an independent studio founded by ASCAP Award-winning songwriter and filmmaker Terry Hanson. Guided by a love of authentic storytelling, the studio creates emotionally grounded, visually rich films rooted in the grit and poetry of Americana. Each project reflects a deep respect for character, atmosphere, and the enduring power of music and place.
From short films to full-length features, Uness Films seeks stories that linger — tales of humanity, memory, and quiet rebellion that echo long after the screen fades to black.
Our Team
The team behind Uness Films is a collective of filmmakers, musicians, and visual artists bound by curiosity and conviction. Each member brings a distinct sensibility — from cinematography to sound design — but all share the same devotion to craft and truth.
Collaboration is at the heart of what we do. Together, we create worlds that feel lived-in and real, where every frame and note carries intention.

Our Mission
​
At Uness Films, we champion the voices of outsiders, rebels, and dreamers. Our mission is to tell honest, visually compelling stories that honor individuality and emotion. We believe in substance over spectacle, process over pretense, and creativity grounded in integrity.
Through each project, we aim to preserve the art of independent filmmaking — one authentic story at a time.
