Editor - Nena Erb ACE and Asst. Editor Gioia Caruso

Wonder Man editor Nena Erb and her assistant Gioia Caruso first worked together on the R-rated road trip comedy, Joy Ride. A film that could not be more different than the grounded, character driven tv series, Wonder Man. Making the dramatic jump in tone and style from Joy Ride to Wonder Man might have been a daunting task for other editorial duos, but Nena's skills as a "digital quilter" and Gioia's talents as "keeper of the footage" helped them rise to the challenge. In the Marvel Spotlight series Wonder Man, superpowered individuals are banned from working in Hollywood by something known as the Doorman Clause. This is a challenge faced by struggling actor Simon Williams, who secretly has such powers. While out on auditions, Simon forms an unlikely friendship with fellow actor, Trevor Slattery. Together the pair attempt to land roles in a remake of the in-universe superhero film "Wonder Man".
