Postproduction studio Harbor has added Maxine Gervais as sr. colorist.

Gervais has garnered two Hollywood Professional Association (HPA) Award nominations for Outstanding Color Grading – Feature Film, for her work on Hughes Brothers’ “The Book of Eli,” and Guillermo del Toro’s “Pacific Rim.” Gervais made Hollywood history as the first woman to receive an HPA Award for Outstanding Color Grading for Albert Hughes’ “Alpha.” Gervais’ credits include Ryan Coogler’s “Black Panther,” Clint Eastwood’s “Cry Macho,” Peacock’s “The Continental: From the World of John Wick,” Netflix’s “The Brothers Sun,” Universal Pictures’ “Strays,” and Sundance Grand Jury Prize Winner, “A Thousand and One” directed by A.V. Rockwell. 

With a background in classical arts, Gervais earned her B.A. in visual art from Laval University in Quebec, demonstrating her passion for creative expression through color and technology. Recognizing the potential applications in the digital world, she furthered her education by obtaining a post-graduate certificate in computer technology for cinema and television. Gervais is also an associate member of the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC). 

Gervais stated, “Like John Alton’s book ‘Painting with Light’ describes, a colorist paints with colors, shadows, and contrast to help define and spotlight the beauty of the captured images by the cinematographer. This is done to enhance the desired mood, feel, and direction of the film. I’ve been fortunate to have collaborated with amazing filmmakers for a long time now and am excited to continue doing so at Harbor.”
