🎬 UGC WORK

As a full-time professional UGC (User-Generated Content) creator, I partner with brands to produce high-converting, authentic video content that feels natural while driving results. With a background in journalism, acting, and filmmaking, I bring a unique combination of storytelling, on-camera confidence, and production quality to every project. I create engaging content across a wide range of industries—from wellness and beauty to technology, lifestyle, and consumer products—tailoring each video to a brand's voice and marketing goals. Whether it's paid advertisements, organic social content, testimonials, product demonstrations, or lifestyle videos, I deliver polished, deadline-driven content designed to capture attention, build trust, and convert viewers into customers.

About Maria Sky

Sky began her career in journalism, where she developed a sharp instinct for bold, character-driven storytelling. After nearly a decade writing for new outlets, including Newsweek, she left Brooklyn for Miami — a move that ignited her passion for life both in front of and behind the camera.

In 2025, she co-wrote and co-directed the short film Uprise with Reelbonds, which placed fifth at the Miami 48-Hour Film Festival.

Next, the multi-hyphenate will star as the lead in the upcoming horror comedy short “Oh, Susanna,” written and directed by Krystal Ramos.
