Westworld

Andrew Seklir ACE is literally and figuratively one of the biggest editors in sci-fi tv storytelling.  Since his days playing college basketball for legendary NBA head coach Gregg Popovich, Andy has been the man behind the mouse on such sci-fi stalwarts as Ron Moore’s “re-imagined” Battlestar Galactica series as well as Warehouse 13 and Eureka.  For the past four years Andrew has not only helped bring HBO’s Westworld to life; but has also garnered ACE Eddie and Emmy nominations for his efforts.  Andy talks to us about; the rigors of managing complex story lines for characters that can have multiple iterations of themselves, how season pilots and finales differ from regular episodes, the benefits of co-editing and finally, what editing has taught him about directing and vice versa.
