We’re thrilled to announce that our talented Senior Colorist, Joseph Bicknell, has taken home Silver in the color grading category at the prestigious CICLOPE Festival for his work on the Reporters Without Borders film, ‘The First Speech’. The film also received two other awards: Gold for New Talent in Commercials and Bronze for Cinematography.

Reporters Without Borders is a powerful campaign that sheds light on the vital work of journalists who risk their lives to expose injustice and hold the powerful accountable. ‘The First Speech’ exposes the hopeful, beautiful words used by modern autocrats when becoming presidents, who quickly turn against human rights and independent journalism.

The CICLOPE Festival, held annually since 2010, has become a flagship event showcasing and recognizing the most talented creative professionals in the advertising and entertainment industry from around the world.
