Olivia Ormond is an award-winning writer, director, producer, and actor working between New York City and Los Angeles. Her work spans premium documentaries, commercials, film, and theater, creating emotionally resonant, character-driven stories that explore vulnerability, identity, and the human experience.

As a filmmaker, Ormond has directed and produced acclaimed work for major brands and networks including NBC, DoorDash, Meta, and Toyota. A two-time Emmy Award-winning documentary director, she is recognized for cinematic storytelling that combines visual sophistication with emotional depth.

Her breakout as a performer and storyteller came with her autobiographical solo show Call Me Crazy, which premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe to widespread critical acclaim. The Indiependent hailed the production as “Fleabag, only better,” cementing Ormond as a singular voice defined by emotional honesty, sharp humor, and fearless storytelling. She later adapted the piece into a short film in which she stars.

Most recently, Call Me Crazy previewed at the Sundance Film Festival before being honored at the Cannes Film Festival this May in association with the Cordillera International Film Festival. Inspired by Ormond’s real experience navigating chronic pain and illness as a woman in the medical system, the project has resonated for its raw intimacy and timely perspective on healthcare, resilience, and self-advocacy.

At Sundance 2026, Ormond also partnered with the festival to host an exclusive preview and panel conversation around Call Me Crazy, exploring vulnerability, creative risk, and the evolving landscape of independent filmmaking. The discussion featured filmmakers and industry voices collaborating with Julia Fox’s new film Perfect, sparking a broader conversation around authenticity, collaboration, and the future of personal storytelling in cinema.

Ormond continues to develop new narrative and documentary projects as a writer, director, and producer while actively expanding her work as an actor across film and television.
