It's remarkable how this project began as a school assignment without putting much effort into the production, but later, when I sat down to edit and weave the narrative together, a wave of appreciation washed over me. I fell in love with the way I had told the story and the powerful message it carried. Working with my dog Charlie as the main character proved to be a challenge of its own. It took countless hours to coax him into the right positions, and when I think back on this process, I appreciate the dedication required of any filmmaker working with animal actors. While I know there are areas that can be improved, I take immense pride in what I have accomplished as a solo filmmaker. The unexpected reception of “Ollie“ at numerous film festivals has astounded me, serving as a testament to the notion that one can create something meaningful with minimal equipment and still garner recognition. The journey of creating “Ollie“ has been a profound learning experience, reinforcing the belief that anyone with passion and determination can produce a piece of cinema that resonates deeply. I am grateful for the opportunity to share this film with the general public, inviting them to witness the magic that unfolds when we embrace the power of storytelling, even in the most humble of circumstances. Synopsis: Ollie tells the story of the daily life of a dog at the beginning of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The dog realizes that his human has stopped leaving the house for work in the morning. He feels extremely happy that his human stays in the house all day, every day with him. But one day, the human becomes very sick and suddenly is gone. The dog stays alone for many days without knowing if his human will return.
