About

Mauricio Ventura is a cinematographer originally from Washington D.C. He earned his B.A in Cinema Arts+Sciences from Columbia College Chicago where he was first introduced to the world of film. The move to Chicago was an impulse decision which became a transformative experience. Having worked in various cities around the US and countries such as Cambodia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador & Austria, he constantly seeks out opportunities to explore the human condition through narrative and documentary filmmaking.

He favors a bold approach to visual storytelling. He loves surrealist films, action dramas, sci fi’s and absurd comedy. More importantly, he loves collaborating with artists and considers himself a lifelong student.

After living in Scotland for two years where he focused his attention on Film and Digital Producing, he’s now returned to his roots of Washington DC where he now resides. Mauricio is now operating as a Cinematographer and Creative Producer for non-profits, corporate and documentary films.
