Biography

As a native South Floridian, Osvaldo "Ozzie" Silvera, has 18 years of television and film production experience.

His love affair for the camera began as early as sixteen when his high school began a television production class. Upon graduation, he went to the Career Institute of America, a video and audio school, located in Miami Beach, FL. After program completion, he quickly entered the workforce when he began working at Broadcast Quality, a video production company specializing in Corporate & Legal video productions. With some experience under his belt, Ozzie left Broadcast Quality and entered the world of freelance - shooting low budget music videos. Still eager to learn more about the industry he began working nights at Accord Productions as their night-time editor. His time as an overnight editor lasted for only a year before he again entered the freelance world working as a Director of Photography on commercials, documentaries, music videos and independent features.

In 1998, while working as a Senior Camera Operator, at a Barry Diller television station, the station acquired a Steadicam but did not have anyone to operate it. It was here where Ozzie began the next chapter of his career as a Steadicam operator.

Ozzie continues to live in South Florida even though his work takes him all over the world to such places as Germany, Brazil, Dominican Republic or anywhere a Production needs his expertise. Currently he  is  working as a Director of Photography and Camera Operator on a variety of reality shows for many network and cable outlets.
