Biography

Olga Holtz is a multinational writer/director/polyglot/polymath. Her early journey led from obscure beginnings in the Urals - via immigrating twice without a safety net - to math professorships in Berkeley and Berlin, with 3 Mil Euro in grant/award funding.

Olga writes about follies of genius, elusiveness of belonging, and ironies of love. After studying film at the Berkeley Digital Film Institute, Olga honed her writing skills in programs by ScreenwritingU, Corey Mandell, Jacob Krueger Studio ProTrack, Roadmap Writers, and Stowe Story Labs.

Her award-winning directorial debut, a short thriller, played at festivals worldwide. Her scripts placed in PAGE Awards, AFF, Big Break, WeScreenplay, ScreenCraft, etc., were recommended on coverage, and reached top 1% rating on Coverfly. Olga just won Page Turner Awards and a Grand Jury Prize at RIFF. Her feature biopic and her historical TV series have producers attached.

In her `spare' time, Olga has competed in International ballroom championships, sung with the Berlin Philharmonic Choir, and appeared on the cover of German Vogue magazine.
