CURRENT PROJECT: CIRCUITUS

Currently, I am in the Post-Production stage of both my professional and directorial debut with the 10 minute short drama Circuitus, which highlights themes of both existing within a heteronormative space as a queer person as well as gendered violence and male entitlement.

Olive Holmes is a 22 year old filmmaker.

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 an 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 experience through editing 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.

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.
