DANIEL GRASSKAMP
Award-winning editor and filmmaker with over 15 years of experience crafting stories across commercials, documentaries, trailers and narrative film.
I’ve collaborated with UNICEF and BBC Media Action, as well as brands including Google and Mars, and agencies such as AMV BBDO, adam&eveTBWA and Be The Fox.
Recent highlights include directing a German TV commercial for KardiaMobile, editing a Cannes Lions-winning campaign for Mars Petcare and a Channel 4 ad-break takeover for the Alzheimer’s Society featuring Anne-Marie Duff.
I’ve also directed commercials for Lidl, Costain and UK Power Networks. As an editor, I’ve cut trailers for the feature documentary Reef Builders (featured in Variety), a broadcast TVC for BYD (also shown on Disney+ and Netflix), and a Sheba campaign starring Auliʻi Cravalho (streamed on Prime Video).
Alongside editing and directing, I grade in DaVinci Resolve, with credits for Decathlon, a BFI-funded feature documentary, and trailers for Anna Richardson: Love, Loss and Dementia (Channel 4).

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 director’s creative vision with an editor’s technical precision.
