Jennell Renai is an Austin-based commercial director and photographer who joined the charlieuniformtango roster (Dallas and Austin) as a director in June 2023, with the signing covered by SHOOTonline, AdChat DFW, and the company. She began as a video and motion-graphics editor before directing; roster materials note that she visualizes a project’s full edit before arriving on set, weaves live action with motion graphics, and brings a rhythmic sensibility shaped by a dance background (Hawai‘i Pacific University, full dance scholarship; economics degree). She has described herself as known for documentary work while expanding into agency commercial filmmaking and prefers collaborative, ego-free sets. Directed commercial credits cited at signing include Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Rocket Mortgage, Quicken Loans, ASICS, and IKEA, plus projects with Olympic athletes Deena Kastor and Jordan Burroughs. A cinematographer credit page also lists her directing OLIV “Highlands.” She operates under Electric Pearl Productions and maintains a photography practice in Austin. No personal major advertising-award wins are documented; public trade coverage of individual dated spots remains sparse after the 2023 signing wave.
