Bio And Awards

Olivier is recognized as one of the most active and rewarded Canadian artists. Renowned for delivering standout commercials under pressure, Olivier’s unique mastery of storytelling and visuals has been proven time and time again. His work demonstrates genre-defying versatility; whether he is matching Scarlett Johansson’s voice to heartfelt shots of war orphans or capturing playful, action-packed feats, Olivier is guaranteed to transform any script into beautiful and exhilarating visuals.  Amongst his most notable achievements, Olivier is responsible for directing “37 Days” one of the top ten most awarded film worldwide in 2015-2016. He’s taking a 4000kg glass cube 2800m above sea level to the top of a glacier to film a commercial about heaters. The moment Olivier’s hand touches a script, the concept of safe and boring goes out the window and wildly beautiful comes in to take its place. That’s probably why he has featured in every award show known to advertising and film (Cannes, D&AD, One Show) and every creative blog (Shots and Luërzer's Archive). They love what he does. It’s a crazy, reckless kind of love, but one that can be depended on to make beautiful commercials that deliver.
