Cinelicious is honored to expand its tradition of creative collaboration with Sundance filmmakers to include Rick Alverson of ENTERTAINMENT and Gus Van Sant protégé Justin Kelly of I AM MICHAEL, both part of the 2015 Official Selection. Cinelicious previously contributed final film scanning or DI color for many Sundance breakouts including Richard Linklater’s BOYHOOD and David Gordon Green’s PRINCE AVALANCHE.
“These films are labors of love, and to help usher them to the big screen and this preeminent festival is truly rewarding,” says Cinelicious’ Founder Paul Korver.
I AM MICHAEL, one of this year’s most controversial films, stars James Franco, Zachary Quinto, and Emma Roberts. It was the first DI by colored by Cinelicious’ emerging talent Tyler Fagerstrom, who previously collaborated with DP Chris Blauvelt to set the look for last year’s Sundance Best Cinematography winner LOW DOWN.
Rick Alverson’s ENTERTAINMENT stars comedian Gregg Turkington playing his alter ego Neill Hamburger and is being lauded by critics as a “twisted, existential, comedic masterwork.” Producer Ryan Zacarias brought the project to Cinelicious for final color and mastering with colorist Lynette Duensing.
