MAURÍCIO FRANCO

Director of Photography

Dreaming of being rich and famous, I graduated in Cinema. Soon I realized that it would not be that simple, so I decided to be a director of photography.

I didn’t become rich or famous, but I already had the enormous pleasure of collaborating with incredible directors and producers on the most diverse film sets.

From São Paulo, where I began my career and where I shot countless commercials, video clips, TV series, documentaries and feature films, to Lisbon was a leap. And here I am, grabbing each film with the same passion as always, with a lot of love for creating powerful images.
