Born in Western Ukraine, he migrated to Sardinia, Italy, with his mother at the age of 9, where he studied painting.

He enrolled at the university, but soon after one term he dropped out and moved to Los Angeles, California.

Hank returned to England at the age of 24, where he made his directorial debut with Outsiders, followed by Despair and The Job in 2017. In 2020, Hank released a series of filmmaking courses that were a huge success and helped inspire hundreds of independent filmmakers all over the world.
