Olivia played the lead title role in The Madness of Tellaralette Seville. The film is available on Amazon Prime.
Olivia acted in the South of France in the comedy horror feature film ‘Last Village on the Right’ by prolific Director, James Crow. She acted with Tommy Knight (from Victoria, Waterloo Road, Dr Who and Sarah Jane Adventures). A number of big name stars have been added to the cast, including Vicki Michelle (Allo Allo), Helene Udy (Dr Quinn, Star Trek), Ewen Macintosh (The Office) and George Newton (This is England).
Olivia was cast in a short film by top Independent Film Director and founder of Nightpiece Media, Al Carretta. The film, entitled, ‘The Sliver of Truth’ shows a dysfunctional group of United States Drone operators on their down-time, as a psychologist prepares to investigate their actions. The film was produced to kick off the shooting of a feature film, and was shown at MCM Comic Con London. The five minute short film can be viewed in the ‘Showreels’ section of this website.
Olivia was cast in one of the six lead roles for an exciting web pilot filming in Brighton depicting six young people sharing an apartment. The production company, i2i Media, has tremendous contacts worldwide with major film and media distributors, and the intention is for the pilot to be taken on by one of those companies and thereafter produced regularly, initially as web-based content, but eventually for TV.
Olivia played the female lead in a film produced in Brighton in April 2017 for the London Sci-Fi Film Festival, through its 48 Hour Film Challenge. Playing the role of ‘Olivia’, the short ‘A Strange Guest’ film by Gareth Lang and Shane Gravestock of Straight Point Films, can be viewed in the Showreels and Voicereel section of this website below.
Olivia was cast in the role of Sarah in a short horror film ‘Spotlight’, directed by Joe Savage.
She played one of the four girls who visited a forest to play a game by torchlight, but with dramatic consequences.
Spotlight is expected to have a strong film festival run.
