Sean Biggerstaff(I)

Actor

Josie Long stars in this mumblecore rom-com meets socio-political drama as romance obsessed young librarian who thinks she has found her perfect match. Her friends disapprove of her three date whirlwind romance but they are more concerned with the political turmoil of the country, which leads to a right wing coup. Exhilarating, topical and also deeply alarming Super November is a wake up call and an ambitious breakthrough for director Douglas King and screenwriter Josie Long.

Quotes
It can be a bit irritating when someone asks me how the new film's coming along when I haven't worked on Harry Potter for two years. Generally speaking, I have no problem with it. Most actors go through their careers without ever being involved in something so spectacular, so I think it would be a bit ignorant of me to object to being associated with it. Harry Potter is an amazing thing. I'm not just being diplomatic here either. I'm still reminded regularly of what a unique experience it was.
