Olivia Loomis Merrion - Where The Buffalo Roam
Olivia Loomis Merrion
Director / Editor
Olivia is a director who edits, and an editor who directs. Refusing to choose and with a foot equally in each world she brings expertise from both roles on all her projects.
As a director, her strength lies in interviewing artists and entrepreneurs, crafting compelling and insightful profiles from their stories. As an editor, she excels at shaping punchy, authentic storylines that are concise yet filled with personality and a touch of humor. Olivia directs and edits projects of all sizes and formats, always driven by the thrill of a strong, captivating story.
In addition to her commercial work, Olivia’s independent films have been showcased around the globe. Her 2020 film Quilt Fever earned rave reviews, with The New York Times calling it "a joy bomb." The film was streamed on multiple platforms, including Amazon Prime, PBS, and Mailchimp, and was featured as a Vimeo Staff Pick. It also appeared on Short of the Week’s "Favorite Films of 2020" list, with the site describing it as “a short doc that has everything to melt even the furthest cockles of your frozen dead heart.”
