In Episode 27  of Talking MEWShop crew talks with "Only Murderers in the Building" Editor Matthew Barbato. The guys explore challenges in production, especially balancing genres on a project, and highlight MEWShop's role in teaching editing techniques. The team discusses Matthew's career journey in editing and the transition from unscripted to scripted work. They also address job loss in Hollywood during COVID, technical adaptations, AI in editing, mentoring, and upcoming events for learning and engagement.


Matthew Barbato is an American editor, producer, and director with over two decades of filmmaking experience. Most recently, he returned to season 4 of "Only Murders in the Building" after previously editing season 1 of the show.

Beyond "Only Murders in the Building," Matthew has a diverse range of editing credits on several award-winning television series across comedy and drama, including "Lessons in Chemistry," "The Good Place," "Veep," "High Fidelity," and Dave. His other recent credits include Disney+'s "American Born Chinese," Netflix's "The Kominsky Method," and Peacock's "Apples Never Fall."

Initially, Matthew's professional career took off in 2001, when his work on "Trauma: Life in the E.R." received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Sound Editing for a non-fiction program.

Matthew's professional credits are not limited to the editing sphere; his varied career includes shooting and directing verité, as is evident in Anthony Bourdain's first television series, "A Cook's Tour," for which he acted as camera operator and director.

Inside Episode XLVI: Join us for an in-depth conversation on the art and science of color correction with two of the industry’s leading Colorists, Maxine Gervais and Roman Hankewycz of Harbor. With decades of combined experience shaping the look of major films and series, Maxine and Roman will share insights into their creative process, collaboration with directors and DPs, as well as the evolving role of color in visual storytelling.

Moderated by acclaimed Cinematographer Christine Ng, this panel will explore real-world workflows, case studies from recent projects, and the powerful emotional impact of color grading in post-production.

Senior Colorist Maxine Gervais notes an illustrious career, having collaborated on over 50 blockbuster and critically acclaimed feature films. She has been recognized for her exceptional work, garnering two Hollywood Professional Association (HPA) nominations for Outstanding Color Grading – Feature Film, for her work on Hughes Brothers’ "The Book of Eli" and Guillermo del Toro’s "Pacific Rim." Gervais made Hollywood history as the first woman to receive an HPA award for Outstanding Color Grading for Albert Hughes’ Alpha. Gervais’ credits include Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther, Robert Zemeckis’ Here, Clint Eastwood’s "Cry Macho," Peacock’s "The Continental: From the World of John Wick," Hulu’s "Nine Perfect Strangers," Netflix’s The Brothers Sun, Universal Pictures’ Strays, and Sundance Grand Jury Prize Winner, A Thousand and One, directed by A.V. Rockwell. With a background in classical arts, Gervais earned her B.A. in visual art from Laval University in Quebec, demonstrating her passion for creative expression through color and technology. Recognizing the potential applications in the digital world, she furthered her education by obtaining a post-graduate certificate in computer technology for cinema and television. Gervais is also an Associate Member of the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC).

Roman Hankewycz collaborates with some of the most established filmmakers in the advertising and entertainment industries, including Spike Lee, Martin Scorsese, Andrew Ahn, Nathaniel Kahn, Brian Koppelman, Ari Aster, William Rexer (ASC), Tim Ives (ASC), Pawel Pogorzelski, Eric Lin, Edu Grau (ASC), and Errol Morris.
Hankewycz lends his color expertise to restoring Criterion Collection titles alongside celebrated filmmakers such as Martin Scorsese on his collection of early works as well as the iconic concert film "Last Waltz," the Hughes brothers and Lisa Rinzler on "Menace II Society", Ed Lachman to reimagine the color palate for Mira Nair's "Mississippi Masala," Bette Gordon on "Variety," Bill Pope on the Wachowski's "Bound," and Terence Malik on his masterpiece "Days of Heaven."

His ongoing collaborations include working with Ari Aster and Pawel Pogorzelski on both "Midsommar" and "Beau is Afraid," produced by A24. Other recent entertainment credits include Lesli Linka Glatter’s "Zero Day," Ron Howard’s "Jim Henson: Idea Man," Hulu’s "We Were the Lucky Ones," HBO's "Love &amp; Death," Netflix’s "Halston," Chiwetel Ejiofor’s "Rob Peace," Spike Lee’s "NYC Epicenters 9/11-2021 1/2," Rebecca Hall’s "Passing," Starz’s "P-Valley," and Ken Burns’ "College Behind Bars."
