Rachel Carey

Rachel Carey is irreverent, shrewd, and genuinely gas, with a razor-sharp eye for both the ridiculous and the real. Her work captures human behaviour at its funniest and most unfiltered, landing big laughs with brains, bite, and a boldly distinctive point of view.

With a background in writing and performance, she brings an instinctive sense of rhythm and dialogue to everything she directs, along with a fearless, character-driven approach to storytelling.

Her debut feature DEADLY CUTS became the most successful Irish film of 2021, proof that she knows exactly how to slay an audience and keep them coming back for more.

Building on that success, Rachel has made a significant mark in television. She was recently lead director on the second season of Irish dark-comedy crime drama OBITUARY for RTE/HULU, and just completed filming her second season of Channel 5's landmark period drama THE HARDACRES, a sweeping family saga set in 19th-century Yorkshire.

From commercials to feature films to television, Rachel’s work is united by one thing: a fearless, witty, and human touch. She crafts stories that are smart, funny, and emotionally true, proving that no matter the format, she knows how to make audiences sit up, laugh, and feel.
