Olivia Dance

1st Assistant Director on 1 feature film and 10+ short films.
Sound Recordist on several short films and 1 feature film.

I am a Prague-based filmmaker specializing in production team roles and sound department work, with a particular passion for assistant directing. I hold a British-accredited bachelor’s degree in Creative Media Production and have training in both narrative and documentary filmmaking. I divide my time between on-set work, video editing, and developing my own projects. My short film "Lice" was selected by 5 festivals and won the Golden Award at Florence Film Awards in 2025.
