A good match
Partners who were born together, raised together and until today, work together.
Mauricio always loved animation. Luigi always loved movies. Having grown up together, it wasn’t long before they realized that their interests could be a perfect creative match. Mauricio started working in design, art direction and character animation. Luigi was dedicated to film, screenplay and storytelling. One thing led to another until they formed the necessary alliance to produce their first animated film, “Mochica”, set to be premiered soon.“Mochica” provided the opportunity to lead a team of artists who now work with them at Polirama, where they let their creativity flow day after day.
Up to today, the brothers keep working together, checking out new movies, taking on dream projects and sharing life as people who get along so well usually do.
