PASCAL HEIDUK
DIRECTOR

Born into a family of seafarers, Pascal had circumnavigated the globe more than three times before learning to tie his shoes properly. Flash forward two decades. After emerging from film school as a director (where he mainly specialized in looking serious - while wearing black turtlenecks), he took the film advertising world (and its affiliated awards) by storm. He directed some of the most acclaimed campaigns featuring Hollywood’s A-list—from Hugh Jackman to Chris Evans—alongside iconic artists such as Alicia Keys and world-leading athletes like Lewis Hamilton. 

In 2023, Pascal wrote his first full-length feature film script, which sparked a brief but rigorous bidding war, ultimately landing with production company GAUMONT (Babylon, Narcos). His psychological thriller, which explores a couple's unraveling in the wake of their child's abduction, is currently in pre-production.
‍
For his next project, Pascal focused on one of society’s most intricate puzzles: modern romance. His episodic series “CRACKS” dissects contemporary relationships through their functioning dysfunctions and beautiful imperfections, challenging viewers with the deceptively simple but not easy-to-answer question of what love really is. Meanwhile, parenthood catalyzed his most personal project to date, “THE MARGIN OF ERROR.” This Near-Fi Mystery series tackles the ethics of procreation in this rapidly changing world AND humanity's ever-evolving relationship with technology- or technology’s ever-evolving relationship with humanity to be exact. 
‍
Pascal's characters live through the duality of life and multi-faceted dimensions SLASH contradictions, giving them a raw and tangible authenticity. His filmmaking style aims for a dense atmosphere and pure intimacy, creating an energy that is hard to fake. In every art form, he loves when the imperfection of beauty becomes the beauty of imperfection.
