Rob Grant cut his teeth in the editing department of studio features including “The Cabin in the Woods”, “Deadpool 2”, “The BFG”, and “War for the Planet of the Apes”. In between editing studio features, he wrote and directed multiple features of his own, playing in both dramatic and genre festivals around the world such as TIFF, Rotterdam, Fantastic Fest, Sitges, Fantasia Film Festival, and many more. From his horror movie disguised as a buddy comedy “Mon Ami”, to the meta-docu-thriller “Fake Blood”, and ‘relationship survival film’ “Harpoon” – which Rotten Tomatoes has rated as their 67th ‘Best Horror Movie of All Time’, and sits 97% Certified Fresh. His newest project, “This Too Shall Pass”, is a loving take-down of the 80s John Hughes coming-of-age story.
