Mariana Youssef's experiences studying as an actor and writer shaped her into one of the most successful international commercial directors.
Prior to her directorIal success, Youssef studied acting for three years at the Célia Helena Theatre School, before launching a successful nearly ten year long career as a writer for large advertising agencies.
Youssef decided to take a more visual path to storytelling, returning to her origins as a actor. She took up studying the craft once more, traveling to Los Angeles, Chile and São Paulo to educate herself in becoming a director. Since then, Youssef has directed campaigns for J&J, Rolling Stone, Fiat, Sky, Oi, Natura and Samsung and TV shows for Amazon Studios, HBOMAX and Paramount+.
Her most popular works are a Ballet film for the campaign “Connect to the one you love with a Samsung TV”, reaching 10 million YouTube views in three months. Recently Youssef directed LOV3 (Amazon Prime), The Followers (Paramount+) and The Teenage Kiss (HBOMAX - to be released).
