ABOUT ME

Name's Oliver. I was born in Santiago, Chile, lived there till I was twelve and then moved to a small suburb of New York thirty minutes north east of the city. Close to Greenwich,CT and White Plains, NY for anyone curious.

I moved to Austin, Texas to pursue my film degree at the University of Texas at Austin and loved it! I then worked in a production company in SoCo, Austin called Fueld Films.

Now I live in London, freelancing my way out through bar-tabs...

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once saw the sunrise on top of Enchanted Rock and the entire sky was painted in the full spectrum of color. It was literally as if the entire sky was a rainbow all 360 degrees around me.

I went on a hiking trip with some of my old housemates to Big Bend. We climbed over 2,000ft (I never hike) with over 50lbs on my back, pushed myself as far as I've ever and it was the most rewarding experience being at the peak looking over the Texan desert.

I once picked up a bike and biked over 330 miles through the Carretera Austral with a friend. It was one of the most physically demanding things I have ever done and I couldn't be happier I did it. It was truly the experience of a lifetime.
