Born in 1974 in the city of Rosario, Argentina, Mauricio studied film directing at the Provincial Film and TV School of Rosario. He also has law studies and graduated as a professor of piano, music theory and solfeggio by the Juan B. Massa National Conservatory.
At age 23 Mauricio moves to Madrid, where studies script writing and directing of actors. During this period he combines his first audiovisual works with collaborations at festivals such as the Mostra de Valencia, writing texts for the book "John Waters: Princice Immundo" (Editorial Mostra de Valencia, 1999). He also makes incursions in theater, becoming a finalist in the Competition of Young Creators of the Community of Madrid, with his work "The Light Vices".
He holds a Master Degree in Film Directing by the New York Film Academy, where he directs several short films in 16 and 35mm. Back in Madrid, he completes his studies at the José Luis Garci Vocational Training Institute, as a camera operator for film and TV.
Since then he has directed music videos and advertising campaigns, is the creative director of international live events such as concerts and sporting events. The short film "Bani" (2018) marks his debut as a screenwriter and director with the production company Apnea Films. He is currently in preproduction of his new short “Gloria’s Best Friend,” and is developing his first feature film.
