Years of Experience

Hello, I’m Oliver Berger

My job is to make the impossible possible, not just in terms of story but also within budget and timelines. I'm the conductor of a complex symphony, ensuring every note of the narrative hits just right, from the opening scene of a TV pilot to the final boss battle in a game. I juggle schedules, mediate conflicts, put out fires, and keep a thousand creative minds focused on the same goal: crafting an experience that's truly unforgettable.

First, let's imagine a blank canvas. Maybe it's a TV series pitch, a video game concept document, or the skeletal outline of a theme park ride. That's where I come in, wielding a paintbrush dipped in pure whimsical discipline. I collaborate with writers, artists, designers, and engineers, weaving together characters, plots, and worlds that feel fresh and alive. We brainstorm ideas, dissect tropes, and push boundaries, always keeping the audience in mind – what will make them laugh, cry, scream, or just plain lose their minds in awe?

We're eternal kids in sandboxes, armed with shovels of imagination and buckets full of wonder. So the next time you're swept away by a compelling narrative, whether it's on your TV, wearing a VR/AR headset, or strapped into a ride car, remember: there's probably a creative producer somewhere, eyes twinkling with mischief, whispering, "Just wait, this is only the beginning."

WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT MY WORK

“Oliver constantly delivered stellar work, on time and on budget, even under the most challenging of conditions. client facing, loved by his vendors, the first to arrive, and the last to leave.“

- Eric Lindberg

Executive Producer at On-Cue

“One of my favorite things to do is set him up, sit back, and watch his mind go. Time and time again, I have seen him pitch and blow people away with his ideas. In addition to incredible creative instincts, he has an uncanny ability to take problems and make them opportunities.”

- Bill Hickey

Vice President of Sales at Travelex International

“Oliver was a producer and chief marketer for a small show I wrote and directed. Under his guidance, we received national news coverage, including articles in Time Magazine and E! Online. To say he is an expert at what he does is an understatement. Generally, I am weary of those who consider themselves "ideas-people" -- they often cannot produce what they dream up. Oliver is an "ideas-person" who actually delivers. He presents results that exceed all expectations.”

- Eli Golden

Director/Creator of FRIENDS: The One Where They Sing!

“His ability to bring creative direction to projects and strategies is impressive, to say the least. He operates well alone and in teams, can think quickly, and re-imagine old issues with fresh eyes. There is no box for him, only possibilities. His direction improved the quality of websites, social media campaigns, marketing campaigns, and marketing strategies.“

- Jeremy Kanne

CEO of Smart Yeti Creative Agency
