Biography

Olya Zueva, a multifaceted individual, hails from Vladivostok, a Russian harbor town, where the remnants of communism coexist with the expansion of consumer culture and the daily struggles of its inhabitants. Born and raised in this environment, she felt an innate sense of restlessness, a desire to transcend the ordinary and forge a path that would bring her true fulfillment.

Leaving her hometown behind, Olya pursued a career in modeling, strutting down the catwalks of Paris, Milan, and London, yet, she found herself unsatisfied with the fleeting nature of this profession. The allure of the spotlight beckoned her to New York, where she transitioned to acting, only to discover that this too, failed to bring her the sense of purpose she so desperately sought.

It was not until she wrote and directed her first short film that Olya discovered her true calling. This creative outlet not only brought her a sense of fulfillment but also sparked a passion that would drive her to make films as a director. Over the years, she collaborated with other filmmakers, wrote and directed numerous short films, and honed her craft.

Olya's academic pursuits took her to The New School, where she graduated with honors in Film and Screenwriting in 2012. Her feature film debut, "In the Hood" (2018),a project she both wrote and directed, marked a significant milestone in her career.

Today, Olya Zueva splits her time between Moscow and New York, where she continues to work on various projects, solidifying her position as a talented and innovative filmmaker.
