Testimonials
 

Maria is an uber-talented writer, director, and producer.  I’m constantly inspired by her vision, tenacity, and creativity. Coming from an acting background herself, she’s an actor’s dream: she trusts her cast & crew, and guides as necessary to maximize the scene. She creates a nurturing and safe atmosphere on the set, allowing cast and crew to feel free to contribute to the work; always under her firm but loving guidance. She is smart, authentic, grounded, and charming.  You will want to spend time with Maria!

"Maria not only masterfully handled the intricate details of script development, talent packaging, and casting, but also spearheaded our fundraising and sponsorship campaign—assembling and leading a highly effective team that exceeded our goals. Beyond the production, Maria’s fierce and fearless commitment to networking and building relationships to ensure diversity and inclusivity on the project was truly awe-inspiring. This dedication extends far beyond the set, including her work with Cappricielli’s Internship Program, reflecting a deep commitment to providing opportunities for new talent. . . . Maria lent her creative vision as our director bringing my words to life in every frame of the picture with a conscientious touch to support the actor’s work."
