Meet Kuldeep – A Global Trailer Editor with a Passion for Storytelling

With nearly two decades of experience in the trailer industry, Kooldeep has crafted trailers, promos, and sizzles for some of the world’s most iconic film, TV, and game franchises.

His actual name is Kuldeep, but over the years, he’s come to be known professionally as Kooldeep — or just Kool for short.

Born and raised in the vibrant heart of Indian cinema — Mumbai — Kooldeep was drawn to movies and music from an early age. As a teenager, he began experimenting by re-cutting music videos and film clips, blending visuals and sound in new, emotionally powerful ways. That’s when it clicked: editing was where his two passions met.

After moving to the U.S., Kooldeep earned a degree in Interactive Media from Columbia College Chicago, where he studied film theory, editing, and software like Avid and Final Cut Pro. He kickstarted his career with a promo-writing internship at WGN Television before making the move to Los Angeles.

There, he joined Hammer Creative as an entry-level assistant, staying late, learning fast, and volunteering for extra projects. Within two years, he became a full-time editor. Along the way, he also worked as an online editor on acclaimed films like Brokeback Mountain, Good Night, and Good Luck, and Once.

As a Trailer Editor, Kooldeep went on to work on blockbuster gaming campaigns including Batman: Arkham, BioShock, Assassin’s Creed, Saints Row, Final Fantasy, and Mortal Kombat X. His work has earned multiple nominations and awards, recognized for its storytelling flow, emotion, and cinematic flair.

After 16 years in the U.S., he returned to Mumbai to bring his global experience to a new generation of storytellers — working with filmmakers, distributors, streamers, and trailer agencies across the world.

No matter the size of the project, his mission is always the same:
“To create the best trailer possible – inform, entice, entertain — within its timeframe, budget, and resources.”
