Our story
Founded in Budapest, 2000
Colorfront was founded in Budapest, Hungary in 2000 by brothers Mark and Aron Jászberényi, pioneers of non-linear digital intermediate (DI) color grading.
From the outset, the company positioned itself at the intersection of image science and high-performance software engineering, building tools that pushed the boundaries of what digital post-production could achieve.
What began as one of Europe's leading DI facilities grew into a globally recognized technology developer whose software runs at the heart of Hollywood's most demanding pipelines.
