“It is with great pleasure that I serve as Jury President for the 5th annual FilmLight Colour Awards,” says Young. “Colourists are the hidden jewels of our art form. They complete our creative utterances and are foundational to the life of a moving image. It’s an honour to stand with my colleagues and praise some of the greatest colourists of our time and the wonderful work they represent.”
