About
A lifelong storyteller with wild enthusiasm for creating the illusion of life, Mauri brings a remarkably creative perspective to the editing suite. Her early career is distinguished as a performer in television, film, and theatre, spanning from a supporting role on Doogie Howser, MD to eleven years as a principal performer with ComedySportz Los Angeles to puppeteering dozens of puppets in Team America, World Police. With all this experience, it’s not surprising that Mauri knows how to edit for impactful storytelling. She jokes that she can detect any pea lurking under the mattresses – whether it’s that one line of dialogue that keeps the scene from working, or that singular glance that’s too brief, she'll smooth out the lumps.
