Today we’d like to introduce you to Mauricio Hoyos.
Hi Mauricio, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I’m a bilingual film writer/director, creative producer, and celebrity photographer who has worked on the promos of different TV shows for CBS, Disney, FOX, the CW, NBC, E! Latin America, and VICE, among others.
This has given me the opportunity to work with big celebrities such as Robin Williams, Kevin Bacon, Alicia Keys, Ashton Kutcher, Dennis Quaid, all the athletes from the Tokyo 2020 U.S. Olympic Team, and even Astronauts from
NASA.
I’ve been a still photographer for the promos of ABC’s ‘Dancing with the Stars’ TV show, working along with Lia Thompson (Back to the Future) and Laila Ali. I’ve also worked as a still photographer for different advertising
campaigns, including Spectrum, Toyota, Disney, Nintendo, Bimbo, People, Instyle, and others.
On the other hand, I’ve also been part of Method Studios’ VFX department working on big commercials for Facebook, Meta Quest, Call of Duty, WAYMO, and high end virtual reality projects around the world.
I’ve directed many projects: including a commercial with Sharon Stone for Peace Now, a Miley Cyrus interview, the coverage of Comic-con for the Funimation channel, a COVERGIRL commercial with Becky G, a Lexus commercial with Colombian singer Fonseca, a commercial/short for Dos Perros Mezcal with actor Alejandro Edda, and an Arkitect commercial featuring Victoria’s Secret model Sara Sampaio.
Recently, I directed my second series for ReelShort.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
No! haha It’s been a long story of up and downs, A LOT of rejection and disappointments. But that’s part of what makes you stronger and wiser. That’s what gives you even more stories to share! It’s your own hero’s journey.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I love telling stories, capturing moments in time, and discovering the beauty of the world through a lens. I also love sharing knowledge. I’m very grateful for everything that has happened in my life and all the great people I have met along the way.
Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
LIFE IS NOW!
Be curious,
Be humble,
Be kind.
The only person you need to impress in this life is yourself! Don’t let fear cut your wings and just jump!
