Answers from Maria

Other than your current job, what other job in the entertainment industry do you dream of doing?

Craft services, baby!
I want to share my Grandma's cheesecake with the world--for a price, of course.

International location scout
I love to take pictures of landcapes and architechture, of crowds and individuals...and wouldn't mind getting paid to travel. :)

Writer/Director
I am, at heart, a storyteller. If I can be involved in the whole process, then I am willing to do so--no matter the crew position. At each turn, I bring it back to the story and what would best serve it.
I have been told that--even beyond my skill with the craft...which can always be improved anyways--I have a special way with people. I could use that for the good of many...Whether via documentary or narrative, short or feature, my life experience has led me here for a reason. I am grateful for each opportunity to use that experience to share with and help/uplift others.... read more

Maria works hard and has an innate sense of what will solve any problem she faces. She is creative and loyal, two qualities that have served her well both at USC (where she has earned the highest honors as an undergrad) and in the Industry. Maria will make a great employee wherever she ends up.

As a Professor at USC School of Cinematic Arts, I met Maria who was eager to learn a broad range of topics around sound???s role in cinema as she completed a difficult writing, directing, shooting and postproduction schedule. She also studied advanced communication with Directors and Composers. From my personal experience with Maria, she is a warm and caring individual, always motivated to collaborate and solve problems no matter how impossible the time schedules became.
