·:*¨༺ ♱✮ ABOUT ME ✮♱ ༻¨*:·
I’m Olivia Accardo, a filmmaker and art director with over a decade of experience working across advertising, design, and film. Based on the West Coast, I frequently collaborate with clients in Los Angeles, creating work that spans social campaigns, branded series, and AR experiences for artists and brands including Barbie, Madonna, and YouTube.
Alongside my commercial work, I direct narrative and documentary films that highlight American life with an earnest and maybe dark comedic wink. My work has appeared on PBS, The Documentary Channel, NoBudge, and Director’s Notes, and screened at festivals including Tribeca Festival, Uppsala Short Film Festival, Interfilm Berlin, Seattle International Film Festival, HollyShorts, Maryland Film Festival, Tallgrass Film Festival, Montclair Film Festival and many more!
My work has received the Future of Film is Female grant and the Saul Zaentz Innovation Grant, and I’ve participated in programs including the SLATED Film Accelerator and the Lighthouse International Film Festival Writer’s Residency. I’m currently developing my debut feature film, Cranberry Heaven.
I am also very cool and nice!
