Crew Dark Comedy Horror Thriller Location:
Irvine, CA Apply Save Job Seeking a colorist for a psychological thriller/horror short film with dark humor elements. Looking for someone who can help create a grounded but eerie visual atmosphere through subtle, emotionally driven color grading and shot balancing. The film leans more psychological and intimate than heavily stylized, so the goal is not extreme cinematic grading, but rather enhancing mood, realism, tension, and emotional deterioration while maintaining a cohesive visual tone throughout the film. Experience with darker interiors, atmospheric lighting, and emotionally driven storytelling is preferred.
