AYUMI IS A NEW YORK BASED senior COLORIST AT rare medium. BEFORE MOVING CROSS-COUNTRY in 2018, SHE CO-FOUNDED MFD, A TOP FINISHING FACILITY IN SAN FRANCISCO. WITH OVER A DECADE OF COLOR GRADING EXPERIENCE, AYUMI HAS WORKED WITH MORE BIG BRANDS, AGENCIES, VISIONARY DIRECTORS, DP’S AND CHART-TOPPING MUSICAL ARTISTS THAN SHE WOULD NAME-DROP. ︎
Ayumi's work has been screened at Sundance, SXSW, Tribeca and beyond, and her projects frequently appear as Vimeo Staff Picks and AdWeek Features. She has spoken at NAB show, is a member of IATSE Local 700 Editors Guild and Colorist Society International.
Born to continent-jumping musician parents, Ayumi (pronounced I-You-Me) holds three different passports and speaks Japanese and English natively. Her French improves noticeably after a glass of wine. Though her career in film was inspired by a childhood dream of meeting Danny Elfman, it has yet to pan out.
