Oliver
always found the concept of film an interesting one. The freedom of being
able to tell one's own stories through stage and film encouraged him to
delve into filmmaking. To supplement his creativity in this regard, he
attended the Hollywood Film Institute and obtained a certificate as a
Feature Film Producer. He also has a certificate as an Independent
Filmmaker. Oliver continues to be involved in the production of several stage,
theater, and film projects both as an individual as well as in partnership
with others.
