Airfoil Media announces the addition of award-winning director Raúl B Fernández to its growing roster. With a sharp comedic sensibility and a unique visual style, Raúl brings a dynamic range of storytelling to the table, blending humour, cinematic precision, and emotional depth across multiple mediums. His work for top-tier brands like Chevy, Coca-Cola, and Amazon has earned him accolades, including a Cannes Lion and a D&AD Pencil. His proudest achievement was winning the Broward County Spanish spelling bee in middle school, and then receiving his trophy with his name misspelt as “Paul.”
A graduate of the acclaimed USC School of Cinematic Arts, Raúl has worked across broadcast, web, mobile, and VR, collaborating with leading agencies and clients worldwide. His background in improv comedy from UCB School of Improv Comedy infuses his work with unexpected surprises. He describes his signature style as “Pretty/ Funny,” not to be confused with “pretty funny.” His recent work with Airfoil Media on a commercial for Sports Interaction showcased his ability to bring humour and artistry together seamlessly, earning praise from both the agency and client.
“The humour in Raul's work catches you off guard—you’re laughing before you even realise the setup. His unique talent for casting and directing performances that are both hilarious and tonally spot-on is remarkable, especially as he effortlessly manages large teams and navigates complex visuals. We couldn’t be more excited to have Raúl on the team.” said Joe Kresta, executive producer.
Raúl’s unique journey—from Buenos Aires to the world stage—has equipped him with a global perspective and a wealth of creative insights. Most importantly, he’s a nice guy who can tell good jokes (and also tell bad jokes really well).
“Being born in Argentina and raised in the US, I have often been called too gringo for the Argies and too Argie for the gringos. Luckily, my Mami loves me just the way I am, and she thinks you will love me too.” said Raúl B Fernández.
