In 2022, Mauricio along with co-creator Andrew Mullen began an online docuseries called Bar Talk that now has over 75k followers online. One evening each week, we invite a new pair of friends to sit down at the bar and have a conversation like they normally would. We don’t give our guests any guidance; we’re simply seeking two people who share a strong bond, with time on their side. The goal, over the course of the show, is to create a portrait of New York City, through all its walks of life, in a casual tone. With over 50 20-minute episodes on YouTube and highlight reels on social media, this sweeping local docuseries strives to build a time-capsule of NYC in an authentic, unscripted way.
A Word For Human (2019) is a documentary directed by Mauricio Gonzalez-Aranda that paints a portrait of The Danish Royal Library, a place where the love for literature and culture is no longer bound to a book’s spine. It premiered at CPH:DOX in 2019 and was screened at the US National Gallery of Arts.
Mauricio was the cinematographer, assistant editor and production assistant in this Oscar-nominated documentary about an Afghan refugee who flees to Denmark.
