Henry-Alex Rubin is a French-American filmmaker raised between New York and Paris. A Columbia University grad mentored by James Mangold, he broke out with Murderball — winner at Sundance and nominee for the Academy Award.

He has since directed two features (Disconnect and Semper Fi) and become one of the most decorated commercial directors globally: 100+ Cannes Lions, 44 Clios (including 3 Grand), 40 Pencils, 22 AICP awards, and 8 Emmy nominations with 2 wins for Sandy Hook Promise.

Recognized for emotional realism, Rubin’s early “Whopper Freakout” became a Cannes sweep and AICP winner. He has crafted dozens of Super Bowl spots (including Budweiser Clydesdales), seven films for Sandy Hook Promise, and standout work such as Dove’s “The Cost of Beauty,” Gatorade’s Derek Jeter tribute, and Apple’s AirPods story - all earning further Emmy recognition.

Across film and advertising, Rubin’s signature lies in human truth, naturalism, and culturally resonant storytelling.
