Stadium has added director Raúl to its U.S. commercial roster. His collaborations with global brands like Chevy, Coca-Cola, and Amazon have earned him top industry accolades, including a Cannes Lion and a D&AD Pencil.
Known for his sharp comedic timing and character driven campaigns, Raúl had previously been with Cap Gun Collective for U.S. commercial representation. He is a graduate of the USC School of Cinematic Arts with a Master's Degree in Film, and a graduate of the UCB School of Improv Comedy. Together, these experiences helped shape him as a visually compelling, absurdly hilarious storyteller.
“Stadium’s commitment to pushing creative boundaries while staying grounded in storytelling aligns perfectly with how I approach my work,” said Raúl. “They understand that humor, when done right, doesn’t just entertain—it connects.”
Tracie Norfleet, executive producer at Stadium, said, “Raúl has a gift for creating comedic work that feels effortless and relatable, while elevating it with a
cinematic edge. He brings a fresh perspective and an energy that’s contagious.”
Tyler Sgueglia, exec producer and head of production, added, “Raúl’s ability to balance humor, timing, and visual artistry is exceptional. He has a knack for capturing performances that are tonally on point. His talent for collaboration makes him an incredible addition to the team.”
