Hi! I’m Olivia Haller, a writer, performer, and producer who is passionate about creating in community.

 
 

Olivia is a writer, performer, and producer who specializes in earnest, heartfelt stories with a surreal or supernatural angle. Most recently, she served as a developmental producer on the pilot of CHASERS which will premiere at Sundance in 2025. Her short film [SUBTEXT] which she wrote, produced, and starred in has been accepted to over 50 festivals and counting, including the American Pavilion at Cannes, SCAD, Cleveland, Evolution Mallorca, FilmQuest, and the Austin Film Festival (nominated for the Enderby Entertainment Award). Her half-hour pilot AND ALSO WITH YOU was a Finalist in the 2024 Shore Scripts OutHere LGBT screenwriting competition and is currently in the Top 1% of scripts on Coverfly. Her stage play LONELINESS WAS A PANDEMIC received an Off-Broadway production at Theaterlab in November 2024. Olivia holds a BFA in Theatre Arts from Boston University and two certificates from UCLA TFT's Professional Program in Writing for Television (drama and comedy). She is based in Los Angeles, and can usually be found strolling through a botanical garden with an oat milk iced coffee.
