LOS ANGELES — Tony Dustin has joined the Deluxe Post Production (www.bydeluxe.com) creative team as senior colorist, working from the Efilm and Encore post facilities in Hollywood. He brings more than 20 years of experience in color grading and a credit list that includes work on the Netflix dramatic series Sense8, the Hulu horror series
Castle Rock, the Best Picture Academy Award nominee
Silver Linings Playbook and Clint Eastwood’s
Gran Torino.
“Tony has a seasoned eye and a unique combination of skill and speed,” says Chris Holt, EVP global operations for Deluxe Post Production. “We’re thrilled to bring him into the Deluxe family and to be part of his continued success.”
Dustin comes to Efilm from Technicolor, where he spent nearly 17 years perfecting his craft. He has also held various color-centric roles at Westwind Media and Efilm’s sister company Encore. Dustin got his start in post production while working in the vault at Editel while attending college. Having spent many hours developing negatives in a photo lab as a youth, he has a well-honed eye and deep appreciation for cinematic visuals.
“Deluxe has a stellar reputation in the post industry, not only for their colorists’ talent but also their state-of-the-art facilities and how they take care of their clients,” adds Dustin. “I have great confidence in Efilm’s leadership and look forward to forging an exciting new chapter in this fantastic environment.”
Dustin’s first project for Efilm is the biographical drama Harriet, which pairs him with Oscar-winning cinematographer John Toll. The two previously collaborated on Sense8.
