Olivia’s directorial debut, Sin by Silence (2009), won widespread acclaim and captured a broadcast audience of millions on Investigation Discovery.

She followed this success by securing an exclusive, highly sought-after narrative for Life After Manson (2014), which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and was showcased on the prestigious New York Times Op-Docs series.
