CASSANDRA
BROOKSBANK
WRITER. DIRECTOR. RENEGADE.
I shoot people
FOR MONEY
If you want a mission statement, it’s Heart and Violence. Simply put, I’m here to entertain. My specialty is action comedy. I believe movies,
like a good date, should end with a bang!
Stylistically, my work is defined by irreverent humor, slick cinematography, fast editing,
a poppy aesthetic and punchy sound design. This does not work well for an art film. It does work well for action movies.
Like most action directors, I started in commercials. I’ve directed campaigns for Pepsi, Ford, Unilever, P&G, The Barclays FA Super-League, Chevrolet, Genesis, Dodge, Fellow Coffee, and Sony as well as Todrick Hall’s music video feature film, Forbidden. Of the awards I’ve won, the nomination I'm most proud of is probably “Most Trashy” at the BMVAs.
Currently, I'm attached to direct My Masterpiece, a movie being produced by Sylvester Stallone’s company, Balboa Films. We're in preproduction and set to begin filming in October, 2023.
Originally from Vegas, I’m the oldest of 6 siblings– the best education out there for becoming a Director. I went to USC film school and split my time between London and LA.
