Olia Oparina

I am currently a member of the Disney Inclusion Initiative and The Blackmagic “Future Directors of Studio Features” program. My first feature film “Snowbound” was shot in the middle of a snowstorm and screened at Cannes Marche Du Film. “Snowbound” got the US and international distribution: both on TV and streaming platforms such as Amazon, Tubi, iTunes and others. My most recent short film “I Am Normal” has played at oscar qualifying festivals such as Cinequest and LA Shorts. “I Am Normal” won “the best short film” at LA International Film Fest and Fusion Film Fest in London. My works have been mentioned in Variety, Hollywood Reporter and Voyage LA. Most recently I helped establish and promote a new scholarship for female cinematographers to honor the memory of my best friend Halyna Hutchins.
