Adam Rael is a commercial and narrative film director, who co-founded Irish film production company Cassette Vision.

Starting out making videos in rural Ireland, Adam Rael refined his craft at the National Film School, IADT, specialising in directing drama under Rebecca Roper. After building his skills as a freelance creative, he co-founded Cassette Vision, where he now serves as lead creative director. Under Adam’s leadership, the company produces a range of work spanning commercials (including TVC and VFX), narrative content, and animation.

Adam is committed to amplifying marginalised voices and underrepresented perspectives in Irish cinema. He produced “An Talamh Faoi Gheasa – The Enchanted Land” – a beautiful Irish language piece exploring Indian mythological and gender identity. Adam serves as executive and creative producer for Irish Amputee Football which tells the story of Ireland’s National Amputee Football Association. The piece is currently in development with Screen Ireland’s support.

Adam’s work as a director leans toward high-concept genre storytelling, grounded by a strong emotional core. His greatest strength lies in his ability to draw out the best in his collaborators – both cast and crew – fostering performances that elevate the story. With a keen technical eye for visuals and VFX, he blends cinematic style with emotionally resonant, performance-driven storytelling.
