Olive Entertainment was established in 2005 by filmmaker Josh Hope in Chicago, IL. It is our goal to produce entertaining films of all genres that will transcend socio-economic boundaries. Our films will focus around genuine relationships, themes and situations, because we believe nothing is more fascinating than real life. It is our mission to develop strong working relationships within the film and investor communities. Ultimately, though, it's the community at large that makes up the movie fan base with their love of film and willingness to experience the journeys of those on screen for whom we will strive for entertainment excellence.
