About the film
Dear Olivia is a heartwarming story about a couple, Nina and Paul, who are unable to have children. This short story takes us along the couple's adoption journey as they discover the joys and heartbreaks of parenthood.
Starring Mara Shuster-Lefkowitz and Tommy Lee Kirby.

Inspired by real life events, the story of Paul, Nina, and Olivia came about after the rehabilitation of a feathered friend the producers had taken in prior, named Mariah Canary.
Six months after the release of Ms. Canary, Oscar Wild was found injured and abandoned near the nest he called home which was accidentally destroyed by gardeners. The experience of raising several hatchling birds has brought us such immense joy that we wanted to share our story with the world.
