About

about me.

My Limit is your imagination.

Maddy Santamaria is a Director, Editor, Photographer and Motion Graphics Artist.

Her love for digital art was rooted in filming and editing YouTube videos that then inspired her to pursue film school. She trained her eye for the arts through her passion for photography and began expanding her storytelling skillsets through short films, music videos, and animations.

“I believe that change in the film and television industry needs to be made and I hope to be a part of that movement. Being a woman of mixed race, I seek to inspire and empower those around me so they can see that their lives and their stories are just as significant and deserve to be told. I am driven to challenge myself as a filmmaker to explore non-traditional ways of filmmaking to tell the legends of life as we know, putting me one step closer to my dream of becoming a Diversity-advocate female Director.”
