As production partners and best friends, the two dared to make a creative impact from an early age. Working in physical production, Williamson developed as a Producer through the ranks at MTV, where he contributed to culture-shifting programming and lifestyle-driven content. Oliver molded his creative eye as an Art Director for HBO, where he conceptualized and oversaw on-air campaigns for Russell Simmons’ Def Poetry Jam series.In 2012, their paths collided, and their collaborative vision began to take root. The two designed a blueprint for HollandWest Productions – a company that would create and produce stories of purpose, showcasing images that uplift, educate, and inspire the masses.Soon, they connected with innovative brands and fellow storytellers to produce visually stylistic short and long-form content. This includes commercials, narrative film, documentaries, television, branded content and more.Some of HollandWest’s most notable projects include Michelle Obama’s three-time Telly Award-winning, “When We All Vote'' campaign, a live performance for Netflix’s, “The Harder They Fall,” and a promotional spot for Netflix’s Homecoming documentary produced by Beyonce for Parkwood Entertainment. Most recently, HollandWest Productions became the creative agency behind the reboot of Yo! MTV Raps, where they executive produced and directed eight episodes. Alongside client work, HollandWest develops and produces its own intellectual property including the docuseries, 90 Nights In Cody, All the Boys, and the award-winning short film, Four Seasons.HollandWestProduction is delivered in excellence, on time, and will always be equal parts professional, stimulating, and discernible as HollandWest.
