Hi! I’m Olivia Haller, a writer, performer, and producer who is passionate about creating in community.

 
 

My past life in theatre instilled a rock-solid sense of purpose in me: I was put on this earth to work with a team to create something bigger than ourselves. Being a part of an indie filmmaking team, a writers’ group, a cast of actors – all of those things fulfill my love of collaboration aimed towards the goal of creating art that helps people feel less alone.

I am a writer, performer, and producer who specializes in earnest, heartfelt stories through a queer lens. Most recently, I served as a developing producer on the pilot of CHASERS which premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. My short film [SUBTEXT] which I wrote, produced, and starred in was accepted to over 60 festivals, including the American Pavilion at Cannes and the Austin Film Festival, and was picked up for distribution by NITV. My half-hour pilot AND ALSO WITH YOU was accepted to the Stowe Narrative Lab, and received a Seed & Spark Patrons Circle grant from Mark Duplass during its development campaign. My stage play LONELINESS WAS A PANDEMIC received an Off-Broadway production at Theaterlab in November 2024. I hold a BFA in Theatre Arts from Boston University and two certificates from UCLA TFT's Professional Program in Writing for Television (drama and comedy). I live in Los Angeles with my rescue mutt Scottie.
