Real Life - Gapfilms presents director Marco Grandia

Dutch director Marco Grandia began his career with skateboard, snowboard and surf videos and travelled the whole world to shoot his extreme sports and travel footage.

Over the past 12 years, he has directed both music videos and various commercial spots. His signature style is the realistic touch he adds to spots.

In a 2009 issue of Skrien magazine Marco explained this as follows: “I think my strengths in direction lie in the ability of making things and situations look real.

Even when everything is staged, as long as you are working with people you will always be able to capture real emotions on film. I love emotions which people can feel and relate to.”

He recently filmed several football related spots and campaigns. Such as the Adidas ‘dream big’ campaign with Lionel Messi, David Beckham and other colleagues of the same calibre.

His reel also includes: a documentary on Dutch footballer Edgar Davis and his Street Soccer Team, which beats the world’s best players and he recently realised a worldwide campaign with FC Barcelona for Turkish Airlines.

Furthermore, he realised a range of spots for various, internationally leading brands. GoSee presents an insight of the world of Marco Grandia. More spots can be viewed direct with Gapfilms.
