Julian Oliver FRSA is an Executive Producer, Producer, Series Director, and Creative Strategist with over 25 years of experience in content production across Africa, Arabia, Europe, North America, the Far East, and South Asia, including being the only Westerner permitted to film in the FATA region since the beginning of the War on Terror in 2014.

Recent projects include productions for Amazon Prime UK and the US, including two US “Major League” sports projects, as well as the development of the feature documentary following an entire academic year at Hope Academy, based on the transformational journeys of young people from the housing projects of Chicago.

New slated and in-production feature-documentary projects include a film on the cutting-edge science of outer-space solar farms, developed in collaboration with leading organisations in the United States, China, Japan, the UK, and Switzerland; a feature following four foreign soldiers in Ukraine’s army, with filming beginning weeks before the war; a documentary on girls’ football in Manipur, Northeast India; and a project emerging from the streets of South London.

Julian is currently producing in Arabia, delivering blue chip factual, feature documentaries, experiential and IMAX and developing a new natural-history brand for global markets, concluding with a curated exhibition at Eton College.

In his younger years, Julian free-dived with sharks alongside the Shark Lab at Bimini Island, lived with tribes in the Omo Valley of Ethiopia, rode horses bareback across the Tibetan grass plains, sailed across the Baltic Sea during the Cold War, summited Pico Aneto, worked with the World Wildlife Fund in the Congo Basin, and achieved an Arctic world record.
