Dario Fau is based in Paris. He began his career as a film technician, working as a camera assistant on numerous commercials and feature films. In 2017, he shifted his focus from camera work to pursue his true passion: directing. He began directing music videos for prominent French artists like Lomepal, Gims, Orelsan, and Lefa.

With a keen eye for storytelling, Dario then turned his attention to advertising. And while his passion for cinematography and technical skills remain strong, his real fascination lies in exploring human nature-particularly its vulnerabilities, whether in comedy or drama. Dario’s music videos – and frequently his commercials – are crafted like short films, with a strong focus on narrative and compelling actor performances that bring the stories to life.

In 2023, Dario gained widespread recognition with his CANAL+ commercial, “Papa?” which he wrote and directed. The film garnered numerous prestigious awards, including a Gold Lion in Cannes, a Grand Prix and 2 Golds at LIA, Gold and Silver at Clio, a D&AD Graphite Pencil as well as 5 Golds at the Shots Awards for Director of the Year, Casting, Direction, Concept, and Copywriting.

His latest CANAL+ film “Super” was awarded a Silver Lions in Cannes this year.

Apart from directing commercials, Dario is currently working on several fiction projects.
