“You need someone who can approach an edit with a fine balance of feeling, forensics and fortitude,” says Creative Director Shiloh Gray of VML. “Mad scientist meets poet. Someone to define the undefinable for the uninitiated and make a moment feel permanent. Keith is that someone.”
According to Olwell, he considers himself lucky to have a lot of long-term relationships with creatives, including Producer friend Keith Dezen, who brought him the Chevron Delo project. “I guess, this worked out as we’re wrapping our third round of these fun projects,” jokes the Editor. “The Delo work is all about the characters from reality shows: miners, farmers, fishermen, ice road truckers and the like are characters. Keeping those people in their right, rugged space was enjoyable. Honestly, they’re all fun to listen to. I’m just lucky that they were all good natural storytellers. Plus it’s fun to edit stuff with trucks and bulldozers and boats!
“The team at VML are extremely collaborative,” continues Olwell. “They let me hit them with approaches they might not have planned on and they hit me with ideas I didn’t have. They’re a great team creatively that way. Makes my work always interesting.”
Olwell signed with TwoPoint0 when the company launched in Fall 2015. “The good thing about TwoPoint0 is all the relationships they have with studios around town,” concludes the Editor. “We can cut anywhere and finish anywhere. This has let me be close to clients and keep them well taken care of.”
Olwell is currently editing a campaign for Iowa Children’s Hospital, which is airing soon.

Simian Gets An Evolutionary Boost For Collaboration, Reveals “Teams”
Simian, the showreel-building, review & approval, and production asset management platform used globally by creative leaders, is kicking off this fall season with a substantial leap forward for collaboration and project management – with more updates on the way during the holidays!
The new feature, aptly dubbed “Teams”, makes it easier than ever for users to give project responsibilities to team members and clients alike. “You can never have too many options when it comes to permission levels,” says Jay Brooks, Simian’s Chief Technology Officer. “Teams provides a streamlined way to assign multiple users to a project at once.”
“Teams are very powerful, but creating one is effortless,” Brian Atton, Simian’s Chief Operating Officer explains. “Simply enter a Team name, add members, and then apply the newly made Team to any desired project. You can even invite temporary guests without changing settings for other projects or needing to create a new Team.”
“We love helping our clients by providing efficient tools to improve their workflow, and this has been a frequently requested feature as of late,” shares Kellie Atton, Head of Sales at Simian. “It feels great to get Teams out into the wild because I know it’s going to be tremendously helpful to everyone who uses it”.
Teams is now available exclusively to Simian’s enterprise clients. Simian plans to release more product upgrades and enhancements during Q4 2024 and 2025 for enterprise and non-enterprise users, continuing its ongoing evolution as the industry’s leading production asset management solution.
