Oliver’s sister leads us through what she believes is a normal day with her brother, but all is not what it seems. The short film won the 2022 OnScreen filmmaking challenge for high school students. The three-person team behind this study of buried trauma was led by director Pepi Olliver-Bell, a Year 13 student from Wellington’s Onslow College. Louise Gromme, who co-wrote the film with Olliver-Bell, plays Oliver’s sister to dramatic effect. Jennifer Ward-Lealand, one of the judges, called it "an assured piece of filmmaking with a terrific aesthetic”. Entrants chose from four categories — Oliver was submitted under the ‘Twist’ brief.
