Emmy-nominated director/writer/producer/composer Ron Oliver started his career with the cult hit "Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II" -- called "the Blue Velvet of high school horror movies" by the Los Angeles Times--and since then has directed and/or written award-winning theatrical feature films and television ratings hits for studios such as Warner Brothers, Fox, Universal, and The Walt Disney Co.
His Hallmark Hall of Fame Christmas movies are among the highest rated in the network's history, routinely landing on Variety's "Top 25" list, and his work on the feature "Falling For Christmas" helped make it the #1 movie around the world for Netflix. His motion picture "The Groomsmen: Second Chances" received the prestigious GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Feature Film in 2025.
As writer/director on the iconic Nickelodeon series "Are You Afraid of the Dark", he has been acclaimed for creating one of the "Top Ten Most Frightening TV Shows" ever made. Canadian-born Oliver's work has been twice nominated for the prestigious Director's Guild of America Award and he has filmed around the world in New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Johannesburg, Athens, Barcelona, Auckland and all the way back home to Hollywood, California. He is also a published author of award-winning short fiction and may be one of the few living directors to have been simultaneously featured in The New Yorker, The Los Angeles Times AND on the front page of the Wall Street Journal.
Honored with a Star on the Walk of Stars in Palm Springs, California, Oliver has also been granted Knighthood by the Sovereign Nation of Sealand; while his official title is Sir Ronald Oliver OMS, he still answers to "hey, YOU!"
