AIRIAM 2.0 HEADS TO THE READY ROOM!

Windsor, ON. Windsor ComiCon presented by Cartoon Kingdom is pleased to welcome Canadian actress Hanna Cheesman to its 2019 Guest line-up who will be making her first-ever convention appearance to the show this Fall.
As a cult fan favourite, Cheesman joined the Discovery Crew as Airiam 2.0 behind Sara Mitich who held the role previous onto which the latter actress was later recast as Lt. Nilsson on Star Trek: Discovery.
Outside of the Star Trek Universe, Cheesman is a CSA-nominated filmmaker, writer and actor. Named a Playback Five to Watch and a TIFF Emerging Canadian Filmmaker, Cheesman’s hit digital series Whatever, Linda is currently in development for television with Bell Media alongside EP Graeme Manson (Orphan Black, Snowpiercer), and recently scooped up the top prize during Cannes’ inaugural ‘Canneseries In Development’ competition (2018). Cheesman has directed and written three short films (Emmy, Cheese and Brunch Bitch) as well as co-directing her first feature film, The Definites (Whistler, Cucalorus), and has written on such shows as Workin’ Moms and Find me in Paris. Currently, Cheesman is writing her second feature film Boring Girls (based on Sara Taylor’s novel of the same name) with Aiken Heart Films. She is also developing her forthcoming 30-minute cable dark comedy, Badger, co-producing alongside Patrick O’Sullivan (High Dive Media) and with her own company, The Long Reach Company.
