Colorist Kalvin Johnson joins remote color grading company Colornation. LOS ANGELES - Colornation (www.colornation.net), the remote color grading company, has expanded its roster with the addition of colorist Kalvin Johnson, whose commercial portfolio includes work for Apple, Nike and numerous other global brands. Johnson recently completed color grading a new campaign for Bissell, produced by Tessa Films, Chicago, marking his first project with Colornation. The addition of Johnson continues Colornation's mission to provide agencies, brands, production companies and filmmakers with seamless access to top colorists working entirely remotely. Prior to joining Colornation, Johnson held senior colorist positions at Picture Shop, Company 3 and Optimus, where he established a reputation for crafting sophisticated, cinematic imagery across commercial, branded and narrative projects. "Working remotely instead of traditionally is massively beneficial, especially when it feels like you're working traditionally," Johnson shares. "To me, there's nothing better than being in the room looking at the same display, but having remote technologies that allow for realtime playback and a call that lets you see each other's faces is nice. I often view this remote model as an extension of the traditional model: you start the relationship with the client in the room, and that relationship doesn't need to end just because they might be shooting somewhere else in the world."
Company 3 champions new voices at the 2026 Picturehouse Create festival. April 28, 2026 Following the success of last year's debut, Company 3 was delighted to return to London's Picturehouse Central from April 15th to 18th for the second annual Picturehouse Create. As a festival dedicated to uniting the UK's creative community, the event has quickly established itself as a place where the next wave of British talent can engage directly with the professionals currently shaping the industry. The heart of the festival's mission is its Short Film Competition. This year, ten finalists were handpicked by Picturehouse's programming and entertainment teams to showcase their work on the big screen. To support these rising filmmakers, Company 3 once again sponsored the Jury Prize, awarding the winner $10,000 in post-production services. This year's top honor went to director Annabella Fazio for her standout film, Scene House. Company 3 Corp is incredibly excited to collaborate with Annabella and provide the post-production support for her next project. Clare Binns, Creative Director of Picturehouse, underscored the impact of this collaboration: "I'm so grateful that we once again had Company 3's generous support for our short film competition at the second edition of Picturehouse Create. The prize of $10,000 in post-production services is incredibly meaningful for filmmakers, and I know that the team behind the winning film, Scene House, was beyond thrilled to receive it as our Jury Prize. Bringing together emerging talent with industry professionals like this is exactly what Create is all about, so we really are very thankful to be able to count on the support of Company 3." Beyond the competition, the four-day event served as a high-energy forum for contemporary filmmakers, writers, and producers. The 2026 program offered a deep dive into both the artistry of the craft and the practical business skills (spanning finance and distribution) required to succeed in today's landscape. Company 3 Corp want to extend a huge congratulations to Annabella Fazio and all the finalists who shared their work this year. Company 3 remains committed to fostering the incredible talent emerging from this platform.
