Based in Los Angeles (and available remotely worldwide), Senior Colorist Asa Fox’s bold visual voice bridges the worlds of commercial, film, and music video.

Asa began refining his craft at The Mill and later at Deluxe and Company 3, working alongside top directors and cinematographers to bring cinematic depth and artistic vision to every frame. His credits span a wide range of features, music videos, and commercials, such as the recent Christmas campaign for Mont Blanc directed by Roman Coppola with involvement of Wes Anderson. In 2023 the feature film Unidentified Objects, and in 2024 Showdown at the Grand, were nominated at Camerimage in the FilmLight Colour Awards’ Spotlight category for color grading.

TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION

In 2015 and 2016, Asa worked with the Technicolor Innovations team to develop and integrate advanced workflows for grading virtual reality content, and oversaw the color pipeline and adoption of The Mill’s first HDR projects. Following that, he took responsibility for the HDR pipeline and color grading of the FX series Mayans M.C., which he graded alongside Laura Jans as part of Deluxe and Company 3.

EARLY EXPERIMENTS

Asa began his career in film photography and cinematography. His first imaging job was running a photo print lab specializing in black and white prints, where he had the opportunity to delve deeply into traditional processes including wet plate collodion and hand-tinted fiber prints, as well as color printing with classic dichroic light filters.

Building on this foundation, he began experimenting with the intersection of sculpture and light, eventually transitioning into hybrid digital-analog imaging. His work incorporated circuit-bent video processors, light diffraction, and digital layering techniques, often printing digital images back to film or VHS to enhance the analog aesthetic. These formative analog processes honed his creative vision and trained his eye for recreating authentic analog textures using today's digital tools.
