Every great production begins long before the camera starts rolling. Behind every frame lies a vision, a purpose, and a creative process that transforms ideas into stories capable of moving, inspiring, and making an impact. That’s why I created Inside the Process, the official blog of YSM Films.
Here, you won’t just find final results — you’ll discover the paths, decisions, and inspirations that lead us there. This space is a deep dive into the world of filmmaking, photography, and brand content — a living record of what drives our work: the passion for telling stories that connect people and brands.
Who I Am
I’m Yuri Souto Maior, and my creative journey started more than 20 years ago in the world of design. Since then, I’ve been dedicated to expanding how images can communicate, move, and transform. From creative direction to film production, photography, and brand identity, every step has reinforced my belief that there are no limits when we combine art, technique, and purpose.
YSM Films is the embodiment of that vision. More than a production company, it’s a space for experimentation, collaboration, and innovation — where each project is treated as unique and crafted to generate real impact.
Vision and Mission
-
Vision: To be recognized as a creative and strategic reference in audiovisual and photographic production, uniting aesthetics with results, art with strategy, and emotion with brand value.
-
Mission: To create visual experiences that go beyond the surface, transforming films, photography, and digital content into stories that people can see, feel, and remember.
This mission guides every choice we make — from the framing of a scene to the structure of a campaign narrative.
