George Ktenidis
Creative Director
I've been with ôlyvon since my early 20's, so now in my early 30's I have more than a couple of lines to share with you. Travelling around the world, being part of ôlyvon’s adventures, many hours for many projects, debating and laughing for small things, working with passion and Greek "Meraki" - with love and passion - in every single project.
Paris Chrys
Producer
For me, sharing olyvon's ideas and inspirations is all about making connections - carving out what makes us different, how we solve problems and how we care about the detail. It's all good!
Louise Barfield

I'm an audio engineer, producer and performer, with experience working over the past decade with other artists, producers and filmmakers. I'm fuelled by my passion of sound, pushing me to learn and work in every stage of an audio related production.
I've worked as HOD on Amazon and Apple+ full feature titles as well as performing, arranging and mixing on LP's, EP's and singles. I'm also that annoying person who tells you the bird sound on a film scene comes from a Californian bird, therefore geographically incorrect...
Kerem Isik

With an academic background in political economy, economic history, and film-making, I am interested in creating visual narratives that are both informative and aesthetically pleasing.
I am passionate about photography, cinema and all things AV, because of their collaborative nature and the creative process of bringing an idea to fruition. I also spend my time researching my interests in economic history and other politico-economic affairs.
Love: nature, music, cooking, reading, film-making.
