SEAN O'NEIL

Sound for Film, Television, and Beyond

“I’ve worked with Sean on several projects and he’s a total pro and a pleasure to work with — he’s also the favorite of several DPs whom I love and trust. Talented, always prepared, fast and fun to be around — and the sound he records is always top tier. I love Sean and highly recommend him.”

– Lisa Remington, Academy Award Winning Producer

“We LOVE working with Sean. He always goes above and beyond to make sure our audio is perfect. And he is a total delight, even when things get stressful. Look no further: this is who you want on your shoot.”

– Julie Cohen & Betsy West, Academy Award nominated Directors, “RBG”

“Sean is great and a total pro and a huge pleasure to work with. He’s one of the stars of my recent movie 32 SOUNDS, and I can’t recommend him highly enough!”

– Sam Green, Academy Award Nominated Director

“Sean traveled to Mississippi several times to record production sound on my film, Natchez. Sean’s attention to the story and investment in the film was invaluable. I’ll be forever grateful for Sean’s artist collaboration and professional talents as a sound recordist and filmmaker.”

– Suzannah Herbert, Director

“ Working” with Sean O’Neil shouldn’t even be called working. I NEVER have to worry about whether he is getting the best sound possible…I am just enjoying the way he interacts with every human he encounters. Sean is the rare one who makes impossible work look easy and makes being with him a constant joy.”

– Kirsten Johnson, Filmmaker

“Sean is the most committed, lovely, heartfelt gem of a human and sound recordist. We filmed for over a decade together on my epic work Sabbath Queen and he built such a profound bond with our protagonist and everyone we touched. He met mountains of challenge with unflappable ease and care. He was the rock of us all and taking his stellar work into the sound mix was just a gift.”

– Sandi Dubowski, Director

“Without any doubt Sean is the most professional, reliable, diplomatic and consummate member of my team year after year. But more than that he is a joy to spend time with. He is a facilitator and he makes what I do easier and more fun and the end result is always better because of him. I cannot recommend him enough.”

– Francis Whately, Director

“It’s always a filmmaking pleasure when a sound recordist is not only a consummate professional, but also great company on a shoot. Sean is all that and more. His radio mic hiding techniques are the best.”
