Los Angeles, CA, April 7, 2025 — The Den is thrilled to welcome editor Katarína Gramatová to its roster of talent. An award-winning filmmaker, Katarína has a deep passion for dramaturgy. She holds a master’s degree in film editing and has directed two acclaimed films, showcasing her intuitive and well-honed cinematic sensibility.
Known for her poetic, rhythmic style, Katarína’s work spans major commercial campaigns for brands including Barclay’s, Sprite, Oppo, Xiaomi, Lego, and Samsung. Her seamless blend of striking visuals and intuitive pacing has earned accolades such as a Ciclope Festival nomination for Stromae’s “Santé” and a Vimeo Staff Pick for Elderbrook’s “Why Do We Shake In The Cold?”
Katarína’s versatility shines throughout her body of work—from deadpan comedy with precisely timed cuts to emotionally resonant, visually rich narratives. A true collaborator, she thrives in creative partnership with directors and teams, often editing on set to help shape the story in real-time. Her involvement begins well before post-production, contributing at the script stage to help craft narrative structure and rhythm—ensuring the editorial voice supports the director’s vision from the very beginning.
Frequent collaborator and ProdCo director Jara Moravec shared this about working with Katarína: “What makes Katarina stand out from other editors is her instinct. She slices through the bullshit – whether it’s a phony performance or poor timing – with precision. It’s not often you find an editor who’s also a full-fledged director, having shot an acclaimed feature film before turning 30.”
Her passion for filmmaking started early, directing homemade projects as a child and later helming commercials and long-form content. Katarína is also an accomplished director with a feature film debuting later this year and was named one of the Top 10 Emerging European Directors by the European Film Promotion’s Future Frames program.
“I’m beyond excited to join The Den,” remarks Katarína Gramatová on her recent signing. “I admire all of my roster-mates, and I’m thrilled to be part of an editing house that has dedicated itself to creating the best stories possible with thoughtful storytelling. Everyone I’ve met at The Den has been wonderful, and I look forward to starting this next chapter of my career with them.”
Rachel Seitel, co-founder of The Den Editorial, adds, “Katarína has a remarkable talent for making every creative partnership feel seamless. She approaches her collaborations with thoughtfulness, actively listening, interpreting, and enhancing the director’s vision with clarity and care. We are incredibly proud to have her as part of our team, where her talent will undoubtedly inspire outstanding work.”
