Ollie Huddleston

Ollie has worked as Sean McAllister's Editor since 1997.

"Ollie is a part of all my films. We came together under stressful circumstances when he was asked to edit 'Working for the Enemy'... at that time because I was a newcomer I was locked out of the edit by the producer. But as a result a great trust and bond formed and now I confidently leave him for 6 weeks with the material. We speak everyday on the phone as he goes through the rushes and assembles scenes, then I come in for the last 2/3 months and it is hell. Well not always... but usually at some point. I couldn't imagine editing a film with anyone else". Sean McAllister
