Biography
Olivia Peace is a big fan of rollercoasters. Their student Academy Award–winning work AGAINST REALITY began as a self-directed experiment in lucid dreaming, using film as a tool to test how sublime experiences can be structured, documented, and shared. That inquiry continues to shape their practice, which treats cinema as an active space for transformation rather than a passive container for story.
Peace’s debut feature, TAHARA (Film Movement / Mubi), starring Rachel Sennott and Madeline Grey DeFreece, was named a New York Times Critics’ Pick and praised for its emotional depth, humor, and formal originality. Their upcoming feature, IN CASE OF APOCALYPSE, is an afrosurrealist meditation on love, environment, and transformation—turning a modern American Dream story into a darkly funny creation myth.
Peace's work has been championed by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, The Gotham Group, Sundance, TIFF, The New York Times, GLAAD, Cannes, Adobe, Rolex, and festivals around the world. They make work for people who have already noticed the floor moving. You can find them in Detroit.
