Mauri’s approach toward direction is heavily influenced by his years behind the camera. As a kid he grew an early interest in painting and classical percussion, combining these two eventually got him into experimenting with cinematography in high school.

Today Mauri’s work is defined by a poetic realism led by strong character-driven stories, often told through beautiful cinematic shots and with a great understanding of how to use lights and color. For Mauri, it all comes down to his personal connection with the idea or the script he needs to feel inspired and motivated by the creativity, whether it’s an athletic action spot, a car film or a visual piece. It’s always about finding the story, connecting with it and translating that to the audience.
