In Israel, Omri has produced half a dozen Israeli films and limited series under the banner of his Israel-based production company, Mountaintop Productions. Mountaintop also owns Movie Mobile, the second largest film equipment rental company in Israel and the only one to boast studio space in Tel Aviv, making Mountaintop Israel's only production company to own both TV studios and rental equipment.

Omri served for five years in Shayetet 13, Israel’s elite Naval Commando unit, equivalent to the US Navy SEALs, an experience that has given him a unique perspective that he brings to his creative work. He graduated Summa Cum Laude from NYU, where he double majored in dramatic writing and journalism, as well as double minored in creative writing and producing. He was the recipient of the Founders Day Award, presented to the highest bracket of scholastic performance, and of the Zenger Award, presented to the top overall undergraduate journalism student.
