🎬 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.
“Sugar Slate” is a collaboration with Lorenzo Patané and Alessandra Rucco from The Coach MC Studio.
It has been selected for 12 film festivals in the U.S. and worldwide (so far!)
The micro-short has snagged several awards on the indie festival circuit, including a Best Actress win for Sky at the 2025 Portugal Indie Film Festival for her role as River.
In addition to starring in the film, Sky co-wrote and produced the project.

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.
