"The Letter" (2020) is a modern comedy film. We had a great time working on the editing and color grading of the movie. While working on this project, we used a brighter color scheme to match the story as well as the fashion style, and let the audience feel the cheerfulness that the movie wants to convey.

Lucy & Sara is a mini-series by Susan about two sisters navigating grief after their father's death. Europe threw some volatile weather at the filming. ⛈️☀️But Susan (who found me on Insta!) had a vision that instantly clicked with me.

The series talks about depression, hate, jealousy, unconditional love, and has a bit of dark humor. Think Barton Fink meets Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind with a dash of The Banshees of Inisherin. It’s a slice of life with a twist, challenging our views on family ties.

The Banshees of Inisherin also inspired the color scheme, which has a slightly dark, moody look—not oversaturated, with enough details. Despite shooting on a Sony A7SIII, I was able to keep the visuals consistent by using color to blend between the sunny and rainy shots, giving it a bit more cinematic vibe.
