Biography

Renato R. Renierra is a cinematographer and color scientist, and the founder and CEO of The Brim® Industrial Imaging Bureau whose color science he has directed since 2014. His field is color: the physics of how a system sees it, and how to recover the truest image any system can yield, from an IMAX negative to the sensor in a phone.

His work runs at the top of the motion picture industry. The Brim's color science has appeared on features and series for Netflix and Apple TV+, in global campaigns for Hermès, Mercedes-AMG, and Nike, including Super Bowl work, and in music videos for Björk, U2, and Drake. Sony chose The Brim's color science to demonstrate the VENICE 2 cinema camera for IMAX production, the rendition cinematographers saw as the camera's IMAX color. Its tools are fixtures for ASC, CSC, and BSC cinematographers and in post houses worldwide, among much work held under non-disclosure.

He builds color from measured physics rather than approximation, holds every result to a single standard regardless of format, and publishes only what he can defend. The approach has been pressure-tested with ASC cinematographers and award-winning photojournalists. It is the discipline of a lab rather than a look, slow by design and exact by requirement.

Renierra runs The Brim on one rule: rigor over effect. The engineering is the product, and honesty about it is the point.
