Senior Colourist Mikey Pehanich Returns to The Mill

The Mill has announced the return of senior colourist Mikey Pehanich, working alongside executive producer Alexandra Lubrano. Mikey is known for his diverse portfolio of projects spanning across short form and long-form work. 

Throughout Mikey’s career, he has collaborated with directors such as Philippe Tempelman, Kim Gehrig, and Salomon Ligthelm, cinematographers including Khalid Mohtaseb, Arseni Khachaturan, Xiaolong Liu, and Shabier Kirchner, and editors like Nick Rondeau and Adam Robinson. Among his commercial clients are Mercedes, Carhartt, Apple, Volkswagen, Adidas, Amazon, Gucci, Airbnb, and CeraVe, just to name a few. Mikey has worked on several popular music videos, including the Skrillex x Justin Bieber x Don Toliver collaboration 'Don’t Go', Billie Eilish’s 'What Was I Made For?', Travis Scott’s 'Hyaena' and 'God’s Country', and newly released Eminem’s 'Somebody Save Me' featuring Jelly Roll. 

Based in NY and Detroit, Mikey will work alongside The Mill clients in person at both locations. In NY at The Mill studio in Soho. In Detroit, with partners Hiatus Editorial at Ladder 12, a converted 1908 firehouse that spans two floors and houses a community of creative businesses.

Two notable projects in Mikey’s portfolio are his work on the highly anticipated thriller that recently premiered at the Venice Film Festival, 'Baby Invasion', directed by Harmony Korine, and A24’s 'Sing Sing', where he collaborated with director Greg Kwedar and cinematographer Pat Scola to create a poignant and powerful film that critics and audiences adore. Any opportunity for Pat and Mikey to work together is meaningful given their friendship and successful track record. 

Alexandra Lubrano, executive producer, said, "I am beyond excited to work with Mikey! As a longtime admirer of his work, I feel lucky to now have him as both a colleague and friend. I'm excited to collaborate with Mikey to create amazing projects together. Mikey is the perfect addition to our amazing colour roster."

Angela Lupo, managing director New York/Chicago, said, “Mikey's craft combined with his character is a dream combination. He’s an incredible collaborator and an exciting addition to our Colour team. We’re very fortunate to have him back on board with us."
