Ohlson is the 2015 Independent Spirit Piaget Producers Award winner, a 2013 Creative Producing Fellow of The Sundance Institute, and an alum of IFP’s Narrative Lab Program.

The film went on to play at numerous festivals around the world before being distributed by IFC Films. Ain’t It Cool News called The Overbrook Brothers, “Delightful…a smart and funny film.”

Ohlson also played the role of Executive Producer for Good Night, starring Adriene Mishler, Jonny Mars, Alex Karpovsky and Chris Doubek. Good Night was called “lovely and devastating” by Indiewire and Film Threat noted, “The real strength of Good Night is the top-notch ensemble of actors. Add Alex Karpovsky, Todd Berger, Newman and Chris Doubek in a room, and some magical cinematic experience is bound to take place. But there’s no doubt that it’s the energetic team composed of Adriene Mishler and Jonny Mars who transform Good Night into something that is unique. It is possible to suggest it is because Mishler and Mars put together two of the most dramatic performances of Austin filmmaking.” Good Night had its World premiere during the SXSW Film Festival. It’s produced through Devolver Digital.
