Maria Araujo

Assistant Director

Timothy is a Milwaukee-born freelance filmmaker with a focus in Cinematography.While always focused on creating mood and atmosphere with lighting and composition Tim strives for the highest quality content. He's intensely aware of the bigger picture, while also enhancing the 'less noticed' takes. Delivering job-specific and client-centric results with efficiency and budget awareness are paramount to success in an ever changing production landscape. Tim prides himself on striking the too often ignored balance between wants and needs. Knowing how to balance and streamline the various aspects of production, specifically within the camera department, to achieve a creative vision, while working inside real-world limitations, is his greatest strength.

Apart from serving as the Assistant Director and Social Media Coordinator of "Don't Lose Faith" Maria Araujo has performed in productions that range from classical theater to modern musicals and has also received training in dance. Her adaptation skills allow her to work, adjust, and compromise which is an advantage on and off stage. She has currently obtained her B.A in Creative Arts in Practice with a focus in music and theater and a support in Business Management. If she is taking part in a production she is more likely than not working on developing the visuals and promoting them.
