DANIEL GRASSKAMP
Award-winning editor and director with over 15 years of filmmaking experience, shaping stories across TV commercials, campaigns, documentaries, trailers, and scripted film. I’ve worked with brands including Google and Mars, and collaborated with agencies such as AMV BBDO, adam&eveDDB, and Be The Fox.
Recent highlights include directing a German TV commercial for KardiaMobile, editing a Cannes Lions-winning campaign for Mars Pet Care, and a Channel 4 ad-break takeover for the Alzheimer’s Society with Anne-Marie Duff.
I’ve also directed commercials for Lidl, cut trailers for the feature-length documentary Reef Builders (featured in Variety), and edited a Sheba campaign starring Auliʻi Cravalho (streamed on Prime Video).
Alongside editing and directing, I grade in DaVinci Resolve, with credits for Wrigley’s Extra, Decathlon, a BFI-funded feature documentary, and trailers for Anna Richardson: Love, Loss and Dementia.

My debut feature film Cat Skin, which I wrote, directed, produced, and edited, screened internationally at festivals including PÖFF and Giffoni. It won the Jury Award for Best Film at the Chicago LGBTQ+ International Film Festival, was broadcast on Freeview, streamed on Prime, and has over 12 million views on YouTube.
As a writer, I've been a Quarter-Finalist for the Academy Nicholl Fellowship, placed in the top 10% for BBC Writersroom, and I'm also an Austin Film Festival Second-Rounder and a Page Awards Finalist.
From script to final cut, I bring a director’s creative vision and an editor’s technical precision.
