Biography

Frank Hannah (born 1971, Clydebank, Scotland) is a screenwriter and filmmaker.

Hannah wrote the film The Cooler with friend and mentor Wayne Kramer. Hannah's inspiration for the character of Bernie Lootz was based on his years gambling in the seedy rundown casinos of Fremont Street in Downtown Las Vegas.

He is credited with coining the phrase "Cooler" as a person hired by casinos to spread back luck. There is no such entity in real life. In Vegas lore, the term "Cooler" was used to describe a stacked deck used by a dealer to cheat the player out of his winnings.

"The Cooler" was selected for Competition in the 2003 Sundance Film Festival. "The Cooler" also played at the following film festivals: 2003 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival; 2003 Valladolid International Film Festival; 2003 Deauville Film Festival and 2004 Cognac Festival du Film Policier (winner of the Special Jury Prize).Hannah was nominated for a 2004 Golden Satellite Award and a 2004 Edgar Allan Poe Award (along with Wayne Kramer) for his screenplay to "The Cooler."
