Harbor has entered into a creative partnership with sr. colorist Élodie Ichter, marking her return to the studio where she built key creative relationships earlier in her career.
Ichter–whose credits include the Oscar-winning Nomadland, Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, the FX series Shōgun, Ben Affleck’s Air, and Venom: Let There Be Carnage–brings an extraordinary network of director and cinematographer relationships spanning Martin Scorsese, Chloé Zhao, Ryan Murphy, Robert Richardson, ASC, and Rodrigo Prieto, ASC, AMC, among others. On the advertising side, she has brought that same precision to campaigns for Tom Ford, Alexander Wang, DSquared2, Aeromexico, Gerber, and Motrio.
Ichter will work from Harbor’s New York facility as sr. colorist across both entertainment and advertising, with access to Harbor’s global infrastructure spanning New York, Los Angeles, and London. Many of Harbor’s existing clients have collaborated directly with Ichter throughout her career–this partnership brings those relationships together under one roof.
“Harbor has always been a studio built on creative collaboration, and Élodie’s return reflects exactly that–world-class talent choosing to work where the environment, the technology, and the people elevate the work,” said Massimo D’Avolio, EVP, head of postproduction at Harbor. “This partnership strengthens our color offering at the highest level of filmmaking.
Ichter’s career began at Éclair in Paris before taking her to Deluxe London, EFILM, Harbor, Picture Shop, The Mill, and Light Iron. She was a jury member for the 2024 FilmLight Color Awards and received a Hollywood Professional Association (HPA) Award nomination for Outstanding Color Grading for Shōgun.
“I’ve always valued what Harbor brings to the process–the focus on craft, the caliber of the work coming through. Being back here, with access to that community and those tools, feels like the right place to do the best work,” said Ichter.
