ABOUT OLIVER 

 

Oliver Ixora Azcarate is a writer, director and actor. Oliver’s writing career began in 2003 at San Francisco State University when he staged his first full-length play, a tragedy, entitled, “Suzanne.”

From 1999-2003 he acted and collaborated in several plays and One Acts as part of the ‘Schinger’ and ‘Slacker’ theater troupes that regularly staged plays at San Francisco’s ‘Exit’ and ‘Shelton’ theater companies.

 

Oliver went on to write, direct and act in several short films, including “Chip: Campus Police,” “Ghost Story” and “Neolithica,” a primitive man comedy based on three sub species of man that converge through territorial displacement and migration to form a clan unlike its kind in human history.

 

He wrote, directed and starred in “The Lost Van Bo,” an homage to leaving the town of Sausalito, Ca., where he lived for 7 years. It premiered at the inaugural Sausalito Film Festival at Cavallo Point.  

He has written several feature length screenplays and an array of short format stories that range from comedies to fantasy/adventure.

In 2014, Oliver wrote, directed and produced the pilot to a lawless romantic comedy series, “Riftwood Bend.” Set in a hip, edgy figurative East Hollywood type town in 2020, Riftwood Bend is about five friends living together under the most insane and trying circumstances imaginable, where love, chaos, depravity and bliss are all inextricably entwined.

 

Oliver currently resides in Los Angeles.
