Paul Mayora
Producer/Director/DOP/Writer and Editor
BIO:
Paul Daniel Mayora was raised in the vibrant multicultural hub of Cabramatta West in Sydney, Australia, with both of his parents hailing from Uruguay. Growing up, his parents instilled in him a deep appreciation for Uruguay's rich cultural heritage in arts, music, and films. At the age of 14, Paul began doing audio for his sister's Latin band, which sparked his interest in audio production.
Following his passion for film and television production, Paul pursued his studies in audio production, film, and television production, culminating in a diploma in Camera from the Australian Film Television and Radio School in 2018.
Paul's career in film and television spans over 15 years, during which he has gained extensive experience in various roles, including director, DOP, and editor. His first short film as DOP and editor was "A Family Reunion," an experimental film that led him to make his directorial debut with his second short film, "Devil's Whisper." This film went on to win numerous awards, including Best Director at the Dream Machine Festival in Los Angeles in 2020, as well as Best Short Film and Best Lead Actor Awards at various other film festivals.
In 2021, Paul wrote the screenplay for "No Country Without Horses," a commercial thriller film that in pre-production. Additionally, he is working on several other projects, including "The Writer" a paranormal drama Proof of concept, "The Case of Pasquale" a psychological thriller, "Hired" A cyberpunk crime thriller and "Cheese Death Lullaby" a gay romantic comedy.
Through his film production company based in Sydney, Paul seeks to create emotionally immersive experiences for his audience using intense visual and storytelling techniques. As Paul himself puts it, "Film making is an art form, a modern extension of the painter, thy camera is my paintbrush and the scene is thy canvas."
