ABOUT

Maria Corso (she/her) is a narrative film director based in Los Angeles, California.

Born and raised in the Midwest, she was inspired by her large Italian immigrant family, who were vivid storytellers. Maria's interest in film sparked at an early age where her father introduced her to gritty films of the 70s and 80s. As a teen, she would enlist her siblings to act out plays and movies in her family’s basement. After years of theater training, her love of performing arts developed into a fascination with on-screen cinema. In 2012, Maria graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Arts in Film. 

Since then, Maria has gained extensive knowledge in all aspects of film and tv. She is passionate about moving an audience with authenticity and realism. She strives to curate visuals that intrigue the audience and evoke raw emotions based on the human experience.

Maria has worked in film and tv production for over 10 years and has directed a wide range of content including short film, music video, advertisement, and social content. She has worked with known actors on voiceover projects including Violet Hour Media’s Hollow, which spent time in Apple’s Top 5 podcasts.
