    SANTA MONICA, Calif. --

    Company 3 has added internationally recognized colorist Joseph Bicknell. Recently relocating to New York following a successful run as co-director/founder of London-based finishing house Cheat, Bicknell has a body of work spanning major commercial campaigns (Nike, Mercedes-Benz, Audi) and music videos (A$AP Rocky, Skepta). 

    Bicknell started his career at age 15, working as a runner on London-based productions. After serving in nearly every aspect of production and post, he discovered his true passion lay in color grading, where artists can make creative choices quickly and see results instantly. He honed his skills first freelancing and then at Cheat. All the while, Company 3, with its worldwide presence, major infrastructure and artist-centric approach, served as something of a model for him as a shop where colorists can focus on creativity. 

    “I’ve been impressed with Joseph’s work for some time,” said Company 3 founder/CEO Stefan Sonnenfeld. “He’s an exceptional artist and we were all delighted when he decided to bring his talent and sensibility to Company 3.”

    As with all Company 3 colorists, Bicknell is available at locations globally via remote color session.

    The list of directors with whom the 69-year-old has worked with more than once is extensive, including Wes Anderson,Yorgos Lanthimos,Paul Schrader,Lars von Trier and, now for a third time, Robert Eggers. "If it's good, you come back," Dafoe said plainly.

    The pair spoke about Eggers' adaptation of "Nosferatu" that hits theaters Wednesday, some of the challenges they faced making "The Lighthouse" — their first project together released in 2019 — and the unique relationship that exists between actors and directors.

    The interview has been edited for clarity and brevity.

    Q: Willem, I read that you called Robert after you saw "The Witch." What did you say?

    DAFOE: I want to meet you and I want to know who this filmmaker is.

    Q: What is it about him that keeps bringing you back?

    DAFOE: Well, if it's good, you come back. When I saw "The Witch," I thought, "Wow, this is a film about a period that I'm not particularly knowledgeable about, but I enter it so easily. This is relevant. It's rooted. It's my story. I'm with these people."

    That's quite an incredible trick because a lot of period films, they're always pointing to themselves. They're always sending messages. They're always showing. This had a kind of energy and the kind of physicality and sensuality that I thought, "Who does this? I gotta see this guy." And then I had a wonderful experience in "The Lighthouse" and I played a part that was really fun in "The Northman." So, when he wants to do this passion project and offers me this beautiful role of Professor Von Franz, I say,... Read More
