Adam Rael

Born in County Kerry, Adam Rael is an Irish film director and co-founder of the film production company Cassette Vision.

Adam had been creating stop motion from an early age, but at 11 years old he began to make short films. Throughout secondary school, Adam wrote, directed, shot, edited, and acted in hundreds of creative experiments with his friends, and even hosted an online tutorial show that had racked up views in the millions.

At 18 years old Adam won some awards for his shorts, but his greatest film-related honour to date is that Park Chan-wook voted for his short "The Silence" to win the Experimental Eye award in the Seoul International Youth Film Festival (2012).

From 2012 to 2016 Adam studied at the National Film School of IADT, and after graduating worked as a freelance filmmaker before co-founding Cassette Vision in 2021.
