Freelance Colorist

Hello, my name is Drew Tekulve. I am a Colorist residing in Utah with experience in everything from TV shows and commercials, to feature films that screened at Sundance Film Festival. I work primarily in DaVinci Resolve, with experience in HDR, ACES, and digital intermediate workflows.  As a Utah Resolve Colorist, I’ve had unique opportunities to work with a variety of clients. Musical Artists like The Killers, Imagine Dragons, Kaskade, and others have used my color grade services in music videos. Likewise, I’ve worked with major brands like Purple Mattress, Verizon, Vivint, Wells Fargo, and Podium. Local connections offer a lot of opportunity for a Utah Resolve colorist, but I’m always looking for chances to branch out.  Whether you’re looking for a Utah Resolve colorist or a remote colorist, I can help bring out the best in your content. Commercials, independent films, music videos, documentaries, YouTube videos—whatever you have in video production can be improved with color correction. I've worked with Musical Artists like The Killers, Imagine Dragons, and Kaskade, along with brands like Purple Mattress, Verizon, Wells Fargo, Vivint, and Podium

Three Indigenous youth come of age on the fringes of the Navajo Nation. Scenes from the Glittering World is a meditation on adolescence, trauma and the power of connecting with a homeland.

Filmed at the most remote high school in the continental United States, at the farthest edge of the Navajo Nation, this film shares the stories of Indigenous youth as they grapple with ambitious dreams, their family responsibilities, and the isolated nature of their community — all while the school itself faces existential questions about its purpose and future.
