About Maria Muñoz
Born and raised at the edge of Brussels, doing her thing since 1994.
How it started
Fascinated by her dad's old home video camera and thrilled by the magic of film, she decided to make some damn movies herself. One day she went from taking still pictures to shooting moving pictures, and that was surprisingly fun.
"As a teenager, she was the one who always took her camera with her when we went out with friends. Thanks to her, we now have a shitload of images of the most awkward fase in our lives, and we love it!" - Friend
No, you can't go to filmschool
"No you can't go to filmschool, film is just an expensive hobby.
Finish some real degree first." - Dad (in 2015)
The full blood Spanish Maria followed her heart and graduated with a bachelor's degree in TV-FILM-VIDEO from LUCA School of Arts (campus Narafi) in 2018, and immediately took a big dive in the audiovisual world by becoming independent. Her business 'Moonz Content' is named after her family name 'Muñoz' and 'Moon'. The reason for this combination is the gender of the moon. The moon is feminine, and Maria would like to make a stamp one day as 'this female Director of Photography', to encourage girls and young women to follow their dreams.
"Look at the project my daughter worked on,
she's doing some very cool stuff for work." - Dad (today)
Creating Stories
Her heart sticks to camerawork for music related projects but nonetheless she adores the world of fiction, documentary and commercials.
Maria fully enjoys being creative with cinematography and the art of visualising stories and emotions. By choice she would like to combine her video work with her other passions like traveling and music!
Besides her job as a camerawoman, Maria works on a freelance basis as a location hunter via The View, a location hunters collective with a very good reputation and a large record of achievements.
She also used to be a Lumix Ambassador and gave masterclasses about their new cameras.
It's not that she is obsessed with camera's, oh no, she's just so in love with making beautiful images. Besides film, she's always been a photography enthusiast and started doing this on a professional level as well.
So if you need some images (moving or still), say no more!
Maria will be there with her camera.
