My name is Olaf de Fleur. I've made twelve feature films in my two-decades career as an indie filmmaker. I've worked with actors like Academy Nominees Florence Pugh (Black Widow, Little Women) and Johnathan Price (Brazil), along with James Cosmo (Braveheart), Michael Imperioli (Sopranos), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad, Mandalorian).
I focus on teaching the building blocks, and the fundamentals of visual storytelling. My passion is protecting and nurturing your competence by sharing my experience. For more FILM & WRITING resources, you can visit my website.
I hail from a tiny town on the west coast of Iceland. Where sheep and farm dogs taught me manners. Making films has been an invaluable passport to explore the world and the human heart.
I'm actively writing screenplays, directing films, teaching in film schools, public speaking, and offering personal creative coaching.
Don't be shy to reach out to me directly if you have any questions about filmmaking.
