ON-LINE PRESS ARTICLES
I started making films back in Mexico since I was 13. Back then, I only had access to my Dad’s Hi8 Camera and two VCRs to edit…
In high school, I was able to live abroad (Denmark) studying different languages and explored different cross-cultural divides. I came to Los Angeles to get myself educated in the history of cinema as well as to learn film and TV production. It’s been a journey living in LA with so many challenges, especially by pursuing your dreams. It’s a big city, a city of dreams! But in order to continue chasing them, you have to never give up and never stop! If you hit a wall, find a way to go around it.

Meet Mauricio Arrioja of MA Media Productions
​
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about MA MEDIA PRODUCTIONS – what should we know?
My company is called: MA MEDIA PRODUCTIONS. “MA” for Mauricio Arrioja.
I offer several production services which mostly involve Line Producing. I create budgets, schedules, script breakdowns, and I do Storyboards (shhhh…. not many know this one!)
I am proud that I’ve been able to come up with ideas to market myself and meet new people. My best strength and I never think of this one, is that people like working with me, I guess I’m a people’s person by nature.
​
What sets me apart is that even I offer Line Producing services, my goal is to Produce, so I end up doing and getting much more involved in the creative aspect and help the filmmakers and artists to produce something beautiful.
​
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
Discipline, respectful with others, be human, be yourself.

From VOYAGELA Magazine (published on 05/10/2021):
Meet Mauricio Arrioja: Line Producer & Consulting Producer
What was your thought process behind starting your own business?
It was during Christmas time where I was unemployed and went to visit my Brother in Seattle and started researching about media companies and also about myself. Asking questions like: What are my strengths? What can I do to keep myself growing and learning? What are my passions?
​
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
What sets me apart, is that I may not be the most talented, or the most educated guy, but I have a lot of persistence, and don’t give up.
I still feel there are many challenges to overcome, this is just the beginning. This journey hasn’t been easy at all. Numerous times I have asked myself if I am making the right decisions?
I keep having this strong core belief, that there is a great light at the end of the tunnel, and that I need to keep pushing. Keep pushing to reach my dream.
