I'm Jose Rafael "Maui" Mauricio, a seasoned video editor, filmmaker, and a passionate explorer at the intersection of art and technology. My journey in the world of film and advertising stretches across diverse roles, from directing music videos in Manila to embracing the forefront of AI-assisted art creation.

My Professional Voyage

At the heart of my career lies a deep-seated passion for storytelling through the lens of a camera. With extensive experience as the Managing Director and Video Editor at Playground Inc., and as a TVC Director and Editor at Silver Media Corp., I've had the privilege of orchestrating numerous successful campaigns. These roles not only honed my skills in motion graphics, VFX, and compositing but also instilled in me an agile mindset crucial for navigating the dynamic landscape of digital media.

The pandemic era marked a significant shift in my career, as I delved into AI's potential in art creation. Whether it was enhancing video quality or experimenting with AI-generated imagery, this period was an exploration of how technology can amplify human creativity.

Looking Ahead

Currently, as I pursue my Master of Communication at the University of South Australia, my goal is to deepen my understanding of communication in the digital age. This journey is not just about honing skills but also about preparing to face the challenges posed by the digital revolution, especially in combating disinformation.

As an international student, I am actively seeking opportunities and collaborations that align with my professional ethos. I am open to exploring work visa sponsorship options, as I am keen to integrate into and contribute to dynamic industries abroad. My family and I are prepared for this adventure, and we look forward to bringing our collective experience and enthusiasm to new shores.
