Olivia is currently in development of her feature directorial debut, HOMESTALKER, a surreal psychological thriller set in Brooklyn. The script was shortlisted for the Sundance Development Lab, a semifinalist for the Black List Features Lab and the Austin Film Festival (including for the Enderby Entertainment Award).

HOMESTALKER was 1 of 14 narrative features to participate in the 2025 Gotham Project Market Week, where it was honored as a “U.S. Feature In Development to Watch” at the Gotham Week Honors!
