Ollie Becker

Ollie Becker, filmmaker at Circuit Films, previously known as the Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival’s MVVF Productions, received a two-year 2021 Fellowship to continue making a documentary series that captures the story of the Island’s great ponds and their journey to better health. The films are a call to action that seek to give the Island community, and communities elsewhere, examples of what good pond stewardship looks like. Collaborators include the Vineyard Conservation Society and the Great Pond Foundation. The first film in the series may be viewed here: Great Ponds, Episode 1: On Our Watch. Ollie returned to the Island in 2018 after fifteen years away, first at college and then in Los Angeles where he produced over 200 hours of television and documentaries.
