About Me

Hello! I am Olga Severin, a creative project manager and media professional based in Poznan, Poland. My background is deeply rooted in the arts and storytelling, supported by a BA in Theatre Studies from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and an MA in Creative Management in New Media from the Krzysztof Kieslowski Film School.

On a personal level, I am a problem-solver who is driven by empathy, cultural awareness, and critical thinking. I pride myself on my strong attention to detail and my ability to make calm, effective decisions under pressure. Whether I am developing a social media strategy, writing copy, or coordinating a creative team, I bring a collaborative and dedicated spirit to every project.

Projects

Production Manager for a short film created during Summer Media Studio in Neringa, Lithuania.

A Letter from The Future to The Lifers of Izzeddin
(dir. A. Voulgari, 2023)

Production Coordinator for a mid-length documentary exploring the history of Izzeddin Fortress in Chania, Greece — a former military fort later used as a prison for political dissidents throughout the 20th century.

I was responsible for coordinating equipment rentals, securing filming permissions for archaeological locations, and supporting the production’s collaboration with the Municipality of Chania, thus contributing to the smooth execution of the project throughout production in alignment with festival and broadcasting standards.

The documentary combines personal testimonies, historical research, and archival material to examine Izzeddin as a site of political memory and collective history.

Screened at the Anoixta Pania Festival and broadcasted on Cosmote History.

8th Folklore Dance Festival “Diamantis Palaiologos” (2023)

Production Manager for one of Greece’s largest folklore festivals, held in Skopelos with more than 300 participants.

I planned and organised the festival from the ground up, managing external partnerships, participant applications and accommodation, social media, website updates, merchandising, sponsor and media relations, and collaborations with the local community and municipality.

It's a cultural festival connecting tradition, dance and the local community of the island with people from all around the world.

Hecuba. In a Greek Island
(dir. Z. Ksanthopoulou, 2023)

Assistant Director and Production Coordinator for a contemporary adaptation of Euripides’s tragedy, developed and rehearsed on a Greek island.

The project received funding from the Greek Ministry of Culture. The performance premiered at Argo Theatre.

The Courtyard of Miracles
(dir. C. Sougaris, 2022)

Pilgrimages
(dir. C. Chatzis, 2021)

Volunteering

Athens International Film Festival

My passion for film and event production naturally led me to volunteer at the Athens International Film Festival. Taking on dynamic, hands-on roles as a Guest Coordinator Assistant and a Crowd Manager, I had the exciting opportunity to be on the front lines of a major cultural event.

These experiences allowed me to actively ensure the smooth flow of attendees and support festival guests, deepening my appreciation for the fast-paced, behind-the-scenes world of live event operations.

Personal projects

Your Wine Not

Beyond my formal production work, I co-created and managed a collaborative blog alongside a group of friends, focusing on art, lifestyle, and local cultural events. Because we built and maintained the site using the WordPress CMS, the project gave me practical, hands-on experience with backend content management and publishing.

Serving as a shared creative outlet, the blog allowed us to explore our interests, review the cultural scene, and practice digital storytelling. It was a highly rewarding passion project that successfully garnered a couple hundred views during its lifespan, further fueling my love for content creation and community engagement.
