Olivia Ormond is a writer, director, producer, and actor based between New York City and Los Angeles. Her films stay close to their subjects, telling character-driven stories about illness and identity that go where most people would rather not look.

She has directed and produced for NBC Sports since 2018, covering the Olympic Games across multiple cycles. Her documentary work on the Tokyo 2020 and Beijing 2022 Games won two Emmy Awards. Alongside the network, she has built campaigns for hundreds of brands, including DoorDash, Meta, and Toyota, placing work in primetime slots where the audience is measured in tens of millions. Network broadcast scale rarely coexists with storytelling this intimate, and that combination is what defines her work.

Her breakout as a performer came with Call Me Crazy, an autobiographical solo show that premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe to critical acclaim. The Indiependent called it "Fleabag, only better." She has since adapted the piece into a short film, which she also stars in.

Drawn from Ormond's own experience navigating chronic pain and illness as a woman in the medical system, Call Me Crazy previewed at the Sundance Film Festival and was honored at the Cannes Film Festival in May, in association with the Cordillera International Film Festival. At Sundance 2026, she partnered with the festival to host an exclusive preview and panel on vulnerability and creative risk in independent film, featuring collaborators from Julia Fox's new film Perfect.

She is currently developing new narrative and documentary work behind the camera while expanding her acting career across film and television.
