The Gstaad Guy sits down with Stefan Sonnenfeld, legendary colourist and founder of Company 3, to explore the discipline, drive, and vision behind some of the most iconic visuals in modern entertainment. Known for his pioneering work with Apple and countless cultural touchpoints across film, fashion, and advertising, Stefan unpacks what it means to shape stories through colour.
From policing piracy in the early days to becoming a creative "sheriff" in his own right, the conversation dives into the grit behind his journey, working tirelessly, creating opportunities where there were none, and staying ahead through health, wellness, and biohacking. A rare glimpse into the life and mind of someone who’s not just colouring film, but culture itself.
Filmed at Nobel LA’s St. Ives property.
