sebastian Strasser

An A-list director in Germany, Sebastian Strasser has already directed commercials for Volkswagen, Mercedes, Ikea and Coke, among other prestigious brands.

Sebastian is the son of actor parents and started acting in plays at the early age of six. After studying at the Academy of Arts and Medias in Cologne, he gave up stage acting in 2000 and had a career as a TV journalist before starting to direct commercials.

Sebastian’s acting background gives him a special insight into understanding, and directing actors by establishing a privileged relationship with them as only another actor can. He admits spending a lot of time imagining his actors’ performances for each film and knows how to bring out the perfect feelings for every script. 

Whether it’s for situation comedies or scripts anchored in an urban reality, Sebastian’s work with actors always shines, as proof in commercials for Citroën, Mini Cooper, Vodafone, Carlsberg among others, and his numerous Gold awards, and three Lions at Cannes.
