Hola!
I’m Renzo Esposito (also known as Mochee), filmmaker, artist, and makers of things.
Current Projects:
- Queer Latitudes (post-production): A documentary on LGBTQ+ Venezuelan migrants in Ecuador, exploring displacement, resilience, and the fight to remain visible while rebuilding life.
- Developing a scripted TV series about queer friendship, chosen family, and building community on the margins.
- Growl (bi-monthly): a furry queer party in Brooklyn (website)
- Tetherbound: A small leather craft business focused on handmade pieces for queer expression (updates here)
- and building a fish tank in my apartment with my partner!
- Watch my latest film, Veni Conmigo, here.
More about me?
Originally from Argentina, I come from a multidisciplinary background in art, technology, and storytelling. Before moving to NYC, I led a production company focused on branded content and visual identity. I graduated magna cum laude from NYU Gallatin, where I designed a concentration in cinematography, philosophy, and diversity.
My work encompasses a range of genres, including narrative and documentary films, experimental pieces, and branded content. I strive to create images that hold vulnerability, transformation, and the poetic—the silent spaces where complexity lives.
Additionally, I work as a camera operator, gaffer, grip, and editor, and offer creative direction consulting services for brands seeking to tell more meaningful, visually driven stories.
Outside of film, I help run Growl—a quarterly queer party in Brooklyn that celebrates self-expression, community, and joy. I spend my downtime playing with my dog Masa or cat Oliver, going on camping trips with friends and my husband, or wandering the city with my 35mm camera in hand. One ritual I’ve kept for the past eight years is writing my morning pages—three handwritten pages every day, a practice that grounds me before anything else.
