In this clip from episode 5 of Talking MEWShop Editors Jeffrey and Zach Wolf discuss with the team about the advantages and disadvantages of remote work. Everyone appreciates the efficiency and absence of long commutes, but miss the energy and collaboration of a shared workspace. The value of spontaneous interactions, mentorship, and shared experiences in their craft is sometimes essential to the best outcomes.
As an editor, Jeffrey Wolf, ACE, is recognized for his film work with prominent directors Arthur Penn, John Sayles, John Waters, Ted Demme, Lasse Hallström, Brad Anderson, Debbie Reinisch and George C.Wolf. Some of his films include "Billy Madison," "Beautiful Girls," "The Ref," "Life," "Holes," and "Dear John." The film "Bachelorette" and "A.C.O.D." played at the 2012 and 2013 Sundance Film Festivals.

As a Director of Documentaries, he made the acclaimed documentary film "James Castle: Portrait of an Artist," and is currently in production on "Bill Traylor: Chasing Ghosts."
Zach Wolf was born and raised on the Upper West Side in New York City. After graduating from New York University Tisch School of Film and TV, Wolf pursued his love of filmmaking through editing, something he observed first-hand watching his father splice film. Wolf has worked on many feature films, including "The Woman in the Window," "BlackKklansman," and "The Big Sick." He’s edited various shorts highlighted by the Funny or Die video “What’s Next for Jack Antonoff,” directed by Mike Birbiglia and the innovative “Vice News Tonight” for HBO. In between feature films, Wolf has made numerous short documentaries about outsiders and self-taught artists, an interest he developed at a very young age. He is the co-director of "The Dukha" (Mountainfilm 2023).
