Dog Eat Dog Productions Signs Gracie Otto and Pascal Heiduk

Internationally established directors Gracie Otto and Pascal Heiduk have signed to London-based production company Dog Eat Dog for commercial representation. Gracie Otto has received a lot of attention across the pond for her fresh, youthful and sometimes boundary pushing work, whilst Pascal Heiduk’s current body of work is characterised for its rich, visual narrative and technical finesse. These two directors are the latest signings for the company which, since starting just over a year ago, has already been off to flying start having created campaigns for brands such as BMW, Huawei and Marshall amongst others.

Pascal is a German director based in Berlin and LA, with a background in cinematography. His clients span the automotive, sports and lifestyle genres and include Lexus, Mont Blanc, Bose, BMW, Nike, Tripadvisor and Porsche.

Dog Eat Dog executive producer Harvey Ascott says: “After a chance meeting in Los Angeles, Pascal and myself really hit it off by crafting a vision of the great work to be made together. Pascal is going to be a fantastic addition to the Dog Eat Dog roster with his emotive, powerful storytelling and slick cinematography. We are very excited to work with him.”

Pascal adds: “Finding a new home where the creative decision is still more important than anything else makes me looking forward to every project we will do together
