In his late teens Chassay was recruited to develop television concepts for MTV and the UK's Channel 4, where he was the youngest member of Channel 4's Ideas Lab. Chassay attended Bedales School and went on to study philosophy and international relations at Sussex University, where he was a regular contributor to the Philosophy Society. During his university years, he was photographed by artist Tina Barney, Mario Testino, and modelled for Italian Vogue.
He subsequently worked as a reporter and documentary filmmaker in Afghanistan, Israel, Gaza, Myanmar and Chechnya, investigating corruption, abuse, refugee crises, and the disproportionate use of force on civilian populations. He was nominated for the Rory Peck Award for Freelance Reporting and for Best Multimedia Journalist at the British Press Awards.[12]
