    Cassandra Brooksbank

    Cassandra Brooksbank writes and directs across film and advertising. A USC Film School grad who came up in an edit bay, she has directed global campaigns for Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Amazon, L’Oréal, Porsche, Ford, P&G and Unilever, among others... which somehow led to her getting paid to tell both Lionel Messi and Martha Stewart what to do

    ​


    Her Barclays Women’s Super League campaign won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sport Industry Awards, and she also directed Todrick Hall’s feature-length music film, Forbidden. She is currently preparing to direct My Masterpiece, a feature film produced by David Leitch’s 87North.

    ​


    Brooksbank grew up in Las Vegas as the oldest of six kids. She has an unreasonable affection for expensive cars, designer heels and things that explode.

     


    She splits her time between London and LA.
