The Mill's New York and London Colour Teams Grow with Three New Hires

The Mill, a Technicolor Creative Studio, has announced the addition of Katie Dymmock (colourist, London), Kenya Agunloye (producer, New York), and Elodie Ichter (senior colourist, New York).

As the global colour network continues to expand, the three will focus on growth opportunities and the development of The Mill’s colour offering. They will be part of the existing international team of colourists’ mission of 'bringing creative visions to life.'

Katie Dymmock is an award-winning colourist who has spent the previous four years forging her craft at Coffee & TV. In that time, she has quickly established herself as one of the industry's exciting new talents, winning 'Best new Colourist' at the Kinsale Shark awards. With a background in Photography and a degree in Visual Effects, Katie’s love of image manipulation led her to the world of grading where she strives for outstanding use of colour in storytelling. Renowned for her prowess in fashion and beauty grading, her diverse portfolio of work extends to iconic brands such as Adidas, Dior, Lacoste, Nike, Monlcer, Mercedes, Sky and Charlotte Tilbury.

Mill London colourists, Philip Hambi and Peter Oppersdorff, are thrilled to welcome Katie to the team. Phil is particularly impressed with Katie's craft: “It's incredibly exciting to have someone join the team with so much drive and enthusiasm to achieve great things. Her diverse skill set, mature palette and nuanced touch will really complement what we already have going on and help us achieve our ambitions here at the Mill.” Peter is also looking forward to Katie joining the team: “Creativity and collaboration are the foundations on which this department is built & Katie fits into that philosophy perfectly. We have relished the challenge of reigniting the Colour spark at The Mill together.”

Elodie Ichter was born and raised in France, Elodie studied cinema at ESRA, an International Film School in Paris. From there, Elodie’s career began at Éclair Laboratoire, where she scanned film negatives right when the digital world was born in the early 2000s. After working as a colour assist in France for companies such as Éclair and Duboi, Elodie made the move to London where she worked at Deluxe. Later, Elodie made her way across the Atlantic to Hollywood in 2010 at Efilm, where she officially began colour grading. Prior to joining The Mill, Elodie also spent time at Harbor and Picture Shop. Throughout her prosperous career, Elodie has worked on high-profile films, including Chloé Zhao’s Academy Award-winning Nomandland, Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, and Venom: Let There Be Carnage. Her roster of collaborations features a prestigious line-up including Quentin Tarantino, Ben Affleck, Catherine Hardwicke, Andy Serkis and Nadia Hallgren. Elodie looks forward to joining The Mill to grow as a commercial colourist. The New York studio offers the perfect environment for her to develop her skillset in the advertising world and work with The Mill’s impressive list of brands to bring their colour ideas to life.

Kenya Agunloye brings experience from working in broadcast, film and digital media. After years of working as an agency producer; becoming adept in bidding, budgeting, managing shoot schedules and pre and postproduction teams, she’s brought her talents to The Mill, where she’s joined as a colour producer.

Alex Lubrano, executive producer for colour, who joined The Mill in October 2022 comments, “I am thrilled to announce our newest members! It’s been a dream of mine to build a team, but It’s been personally special for me because it’s a full female colour team in the New York studio. We’re so excited to work and continue to grow. Big appreciation to Angela Lupo for this opportunity, as well as for Ashley Woods, colourist and Amonnie Nicolas, colour assist.”
