About Damien:
Originally from Normandy, Senior Colorist Damien Vandercruyssen creates some of entertainment's most unique looks for titles such as his most recent credits: Multi-Emmy-winning The Studio, Benny Safdie's The Smashing Machine, Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17, Halina Reijn’s Babygirl for A24 and Zoe Kravitz’s Blink Twice for Amazon MGM.

Damien began his career after studying cinematography at the prestigious ENS Louis Lumière film school near Paris. His expertise in cinematography and color science has led to regular collaborations with highly regarded directors including Sofia Coppola, the Safdie Brothers, Trey Edward Shults, and Halina Reijn, along with cinematographers Philippe Le Sourd, Drew Daniel, and Darius Khondji.

His work on Apple TV+’s Lisey’s Story garnered him a 2021 FilmLight Award win for Best Color Grading in TV/episodic, and this year he has two nominations at Filmlight for his work on The Studio and Mickey 17.

Major brands he has worked with include Gucci, L’Oréal, HPE, Mitsubishi, Dropbox, Volkswagen, Lobos Tequila, Amazon, and Lexus. Damien has also collaborated on Super Bowl commercials for Bud Light with Miles Teller, JIF, and Squarespace with Barry Keoghan.
