Where Words Begin and Vision Comes Alive
Every cinematic journey starts with a single, powerful line of dialogue. At P.I.V. Productions (Persistence in Vision Productions), we believe in the storytelling magic that transforms ordinary scripts into unforgettable screen experiences. From the seed of an idea to a script that shapes the future of film, P.I.V. is where art, emotion, and structure intersect.
Meet the Visionary Behind the Vision: Larry Olliverson
Larry Olliverson, the founder of P.I.V. Productions has always believed in the transformative power of storytelling. While pursuing his college degree, Larry launched what would become a legacy of creativity and innovation: Persistence in Vision Productions. The name draws from a scientific phenomenon in cinema — the ability of the eye to retain an image for a moment after it disappears — symbolizing the lasting impact of a powerful story.

The Vision Behind P.I.V Productions
The name “Persistence in Vision” refers to a phenomenon in the film industry — the way our minds retain images a fraction longer than they appear. This split-second retention is what gives motion pictures their magic. At P.I.V. Productions, this concept is more than science — it is our philosophy and our purpose.
Formed during the founder’s college years and brought to life through years of creative work, P.I.V. has a rich history of dedication to storytelling. Our journey includes:
Producing touring musicals and theatrical works
Collaborating with major colleges and venues
Supporting non-union actors and community arts programs
Transitioning into book writing and creative publishing
Now, post-retirement, our founder returns to his artistic roots, passionate about creating new narratives that reflect emotion, truth, and legacy.
