BEN PEREZ
James Hussey’s ten-plus years’ experience in compositing, editing, and color grading has enabled him to cast a wide net. He cut his teeth color grading over 100 episodes of reality TV shows for VH1 and MTV, and has colored commercials, music videos, and feature films. Continually challenging himself to expand his skill set and knowledge base, James is perpetually curious. When not working out his brain, he practices Muay Thai.
Steve has been colorist on a number of films for the prestigious Criterion Collection before he took on the challenge of living abroad as the Senior Colorist for Technicolor’s Bangkok Thailand facility. There, he graded projects for countries ranging from Thailand, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Iran, Qatar and the U.S. Over the years his keen eye for color has led him to collaborations with the likes of Academy Award winning cinematographers Emmanuel Lubezki, Robert Elswit, John Bailey and Lawrence Sher as well as projects directed by Oliver Stone, Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Noah Baumbach and Kevin Smith.
His broad television work includes HBO, ESPN, The Food Network, MTV, VH1, The CW, HGTV, Lifetime and the Science Channel.

Highly recommend!"
