ABOUT ME

Olive Holmes is a 21 year old recent graduate from the University of Technology.

Making their directorial debut with their current project Circuitus, the Sydney based-filmmaker has already been interested in filmmaking and screenwriting for their whole life, making stop motion lego and figurine films from the moment they could access a 1st generation iPad. Now aimed with something a touch fancier, Olive excels in products such as the Adobe suite, Highlander and Davinci Resolve to tell the stories that have been rattling around in their head for over two decades.

They have years of scholastic experience through editing for one of their final submissions the 2024 short film Holding On, as well as in the more logistical roles such as Camera Assist/Script Supervisor in Blue and 1st Assistant Director in Questions And…, allowing them to develop their creative and organisational skills. Additionally, while now archived Olive had run their own YouTube channel for sometime when they were in highschool, which mainly focused on animatics and showing their art process, which further developed their editing and social media skills and amassed over 50,000 views.

They aim to make filmmaking and communication their primary role as they use their current experience within the corporate space to write both biting social commentary as well as fantasy and drama, and they can’t wait to start their next project or write their next script and show it to the world.
