Hi, I’m Marco
I’m a video producer, cinematographer, and editor based in Northern Virginia. I’ve been making videos since 2009, and over those years I’ve done just about every job on a production: developing the idea, writing and directing, shooting, editing, animating, and managing the crews and clients along the way.
I started in narrative filmmaking while attending Light House Studios, and that’s where I learned to care about story. My short films have earned a Jury Award and an Audience Choice award at the Virginia Film Festival and a Gold World Medal at the New York Film Festival. For more than seven years I was lead videographer at Istrico Productions in Alexandria, VA, where I shot a ton of corporate and branded projects. That’s where I got my agency experience and learned how to communicate directly with clients. In 2024 I worked with the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) in Washington, DC, and contributed to “Never The Same,” which won a 2025 Bronze Telly Award.
Today I run MM Media Productions, LLC, where I work directly with associations, nonprofits, brands and mission-driven organizations. Because I handle the whole process myself, you work with one person who understands your goals from the first conversation through final delivery. When a bigger project needs more hands, I bring in trusted crew.
I hold a B.A. in Film and Video Studies from George Mason University with a concentration in directing, I graduated magna cum laude whatever that means.
My approach hasn’t changed since I started: find the real story, ask questions that matter, and make something worth the audience’s time.
What I use: Sony FX and Alpha cameras, Canon Cinema, Blackmagic and RED systems, and a full post-production setup built on Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, After Effects and Final Cut Pro.
