Olia Zimarova

I arrived in Los Angeles around 10 years ago with the purpose of being in the film industry, as it was my fascination growing up. Before that, I was a professional basketball player and international model traveling the world. My journey here started with education at UCLA evening school, then experience in the corporate entertainment world at Millennium Films as a sales coordinator. I decided to produce something myself and went to AFI, the American Film Institute Conservatory, where I finished my master's in producing. Since graduating, I have been producing on my own, and though it can be demanding, the projects have been satisfying and fulfilling.
