Rory Hanrahan
Rory has built his reputation on a foundation of bold, character-driven storytelling that transforms brand messaging into genuinely entertaining content. His approach combines sharp comedy with visual sophistication, creating work that audiences actually want to watch.
Working with everyone from real people to celebrities, Rory creates an on-set atmosphere where authentic performances flourish. He understands that the best advertising doesn't feel like advertising—it feels like great entertainment that happens to feature a brand.
His recent triumph with "Wife of the Future" demonstrates his range beyond commercial work. The film's James Flynn Award for Best First Short at Galway Film Fleadh 2024 confirms what his commercial clients already know—Rory is a director who understands how to connect with audiences.
