Mario Rivas

I am a graduate of USC's School of Cinematic Arts with a BA in Film Production. I've written, produced and edited a variety of trailers, promos, and shows and as a multimedia journalist covered hundreds of film junkets, premieres, and events, including the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards. I have extensive knowledge of photo, audio, and video editing software, as well as visual design and storyboarding, and media management, and communications. I was most recently at NBCUniversal creating broadcast, digital, social media, and podcast content generating hundreds of thousands of views. The workflow revolved Adobe’s app suite (Premiere, Photoshop, After Effects, Audition), as well as AVID Media Composer, including Interplay and Unity, both in-house and remotely. I handle complex direction well, can prioritize multiple requests from different team members, and be self-guided, creative, highly organized, and motivated. I am also an award-winning screenwriter and produced playwright.
