Damien Cassar has added his directing skills to what Engine Room has to offer.

Not many directors begin making films in primary school. Damien Cassar made a ten part series when he was nine years old. That ignited a spark in him for narrative, which grew into a flair for writing and directing short films and documentaries with engaging, emotive and authentic content.

Red Bull, Air New Zealand, Qantas, McDonald’s, Communications Council, Herman Miller and Sydney Opera House have already benefitted from his directing skills.

Cassar will boost Engine Room’s short-form digital capabilities.

Engine Room was established in early 2014, when executive producer, Adrian Hyde, and digital creative content agency, Red Engine, saw an opportunity for high-end online film content to surge.

The production company now was a permanent team of fourteen and its portfolio includes work for Ensemble, Waterfront, PHD, Edelman, Telstra, Commonwealth Bank, PayPal, Metcash, Macquarie and Intel.

Hyde commented, “It has been a whirlwind first year, but Engine Room is meeting a growing demand for strategically-led digital screen content for the ‘always-on’ online audience. The production industry has experienced some tough times over the past few years, but our model has been designed for clients who are increasingly turning to digital first content creation.

“Damien has a wealth of experience in short film production and brings valuable knowledge and insight to the business.”
