“I can’t recommend Mike Wolf enough. I worked with him on a very difficult, time-intensive Netflix show. Mike's work was second to none and his attention to color and detail exceeded everyone’s expectations. We couldn’t have navigated Netflix’s stringent deliverables without Mike's experience and knowledge of online editing.”Jay Skowronek Post Production Supervisor - 25/7 Productions

"Mike Wolf is the best online guy I have ever worked with. A true artist who seamlessly incorporates the big picture down to the smallest detail. He's a brilliant colorist, a gifted graphics whiz, and he won't leave the room until the job is done - be it 8 hours or two and a half days. I've been with him in both situations. Mike is our 'Go To Guy' whenever we have a gig that requires a master's finesse. Which of course is every time."Eamon HarringtonProducer/Director/Owner – Planet Grande Pictures

Highly recommended."Kip BrownPost Producer – Karga 7 Pictures
