DANIEL GRASSKAMP
Award-winning editor and filmmaker based in Brighton & Hove with over 15 years of experience in commercials, documentaries, trailers and narrative film. I’ve collaborated with charities and agencies including UNICEF, AMV BBDO and adam&eveTBWA, delivering work for brands across broadcast television, socials and streamers.
Recent highlights include directing a German TV commercial for KardiaMobile, editing a Cannes Lions-winning campaign for Mars Petcare and the BBC documentary short Digging for Truth.
I’ve also cut trailers for the feature documentary Reef Builders starring Auliʻi Cravalho (featured in Variety), and a Channel 4 ad-break takeover for the Alzheimer’s Society featuring Anne-Marie Duff.

My film work has screened internationally at festivals including PÖFF and Giffoni, as well as BAFTA and BIFA-qualifying film festivals.
I wrote, directed and edited my debut feature Cat Skin, which won the Jury Award for Best Film at the Chicago LGBTQ+ International Film Festival, was broadcast on Freeview, streamed on Prime Video, and has been viewed over 12 million times on YouTube.
As a writer, I’ve been a quarter-finalist for the Academy Nicholl Fellowship, placed in the top 10% of the BBC Writersroom, and was a finalist for the Page International Screenwriting Awards.
From script to final cut, I combine a filmmaker’s creative vision with an editor’s technical precision.
