Kyle Cassie is an award winning Director/Writer based in Los Angeles who has consistently challenged himself to visually reinvent with evocative storytelling since he jumped behind the camera to Direct. Kyle is compelled by tragic human stories. Underdogs and Anti-Heroes. Impossible situations. The darker side of Fairy Tales. All treated through a playfully tormented filter. Story above all else.
Kyle Cassie entered the industry as a working film/tv actor (ImdbPro) for over two decades while also cultivating his true love for cinematic storytelling alongside via ongoing work as film editor and colorist on multiple feature films for theatrical and broadcast. His articulate understanding of story beats, pacing, genre and the puppeteering of emotions earned him several award nominations and wins for his work as an editor and producer.
Directing followed naturally, beginning with years in the visually stimulating world of beauty commercials leading a film/video production studio for a New York based global beauty brand shooting in LA, NYC, London and Berlin.
His insatiable appetite for storytelling is currently focused on development of a slate of feature films. Most notably a psyche/thriller based on his real life experience in a Coma after a horrific car accident that briefly took his life.
Kyle Cassie recently had the world premiere for 'ANTi-SOCiAL', short film and his narrative debut in Los Angeles that he wrote/directed and co-produced. This tormented, darkly playful dramatic thriller set against a backdrop of magical realism unveils questions about the cost of stardom in our current feverish climate of social media driven quests for acceptance and power.
His screenplay earned multiple semi-finalist honors in prominent screenwriting competitions, including making the top 8 short dramatic scripts worldwide at Slamdance. 'ANTi-SOCiAL' film continued to collect film festival accolades as well.
Kyle also recently celebrated the official release of his Copenhagen shot music video '17' for up and coming Danish pop artist, Silje Kronow.
Post Production is currently underway for Kyle's next narrative adventure, B M X , a quirky, darkly comedic love story set against the beautifully textured backdrop of Copenhagen, Denmark.
