In this episode of Human Friend Digital, Jeffrey and Jacob are joined by Olivia Curry, a commercial director and professional boxer. Olivia’s career in film has taken her from small-scale productions to directing large commercial spots. She shares what it’s like managing the complexities of a commercial set, working with everyone—from cinematographers to lighting and sound designers—to bring a vision to life.
But Olivia’s story doesn’t end on set. As a professional boxer, she also trains rigorously and has even fought on major televised cards. She talks about the reality of boxing training, her experiences sparring mostly with male partners, in a male dominated sport, and the challenges and rewards of balancing two demanding pursuits.
In their conversation, Olivia provides an honest look at the worlds of film and boxing and the intersections of creativity, discipline, and physical endurance. It’s a look at two very different careers and how one person navigates the demands of each.
