    The Colour Grade

    For the grade, we took inspiration from classic film stocks, with Dann, the director, keen to incorporate rich Kodak blues in the shadows while enhancing the soft, peachy winter light

    Beyond colour, we spent time refining the film’s texture- embracing the unique characteristics of the beautiful lenses used on set and tying everything together with a carefully selected 35mm film grain scan for a timeless, cinematic feel

    Shot on Arri Alexa with vintage lenses
