OLIVIA WILDE made her feature-film directorial debut with the raucous, uproarious comedy Booksmart, which was one of the best-reviewed films of 2019 with 97% “Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes. Named one of Variety’s 10 Directors to Watch, Wilde’s highly anticipated follow-up feature, Don’t Worry Darling, starring Florence Pugh and Harry Styles, was released in 2022. Her latest commercial work is “Tache,” the launch film for Amazon Prime’s latest global campaign, which was shortlisted at last year’s Cannes Lions, British Arrows and AICP Awards.
In 2020, she directed the branded short “Wake Up,” starring Margaret Qualley for HP. The film, which explores human connections and our relationship with technology, debuted alongside the Sundance Film Festival, was shortlisted for a Tribeca X Award, and was awarded Best New Director at the AICP Awards.
Wilde is a board member of the organization “Artists for Peace and Justice,” which supports communities in Haiti through programs in education, health care, and dignity through the performing arts.
She is currently set to direct A24’s series adaption of Jennifer Egan’s best-selling novels A Visit from the Goon Squad and its sequel The Candy House.
