An independent production company in Los Angeles, queer- and women-owned.
OWong Productions develops and produces original films alongside commissioned music videos, commercials, and branded work. Founded to amplify underrepresented voices and create safe spaces, both on and off set.
What the work is about
Our work highlights stories from the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities, with an emphasis on mental health and identity. The films lean into genre — dark comedy, thriller, horror — because genre lets those subjects land harder than a lecture ever could. These stories are the center of the slate, not a sidebar to it.
Olivia Wong
Olivia Wong was born in Hong Kong and grew up in Sacramento, California, after being adopted into a Chinese-American family. At fourteen she knew she would be a filmmaker — primarily a writer-director.
After the USC School of Cinematic Arts MFA program, she wrote, directed, and produced several of her own short films and music videos. As a queer woman of color, Olivia strives to enact positive social change in the world, and that is the primary reason she became a filmmaker.
Olivia has also been a professional photographer for the last decade, currently signed with Getty Images as an Editorial Photographer in Entertainment.
