Maria Tran

Founder | CEO | Creative Producer & Director

My name is Maria Tran, Founder and CEO of Phoenix Eye, and I work as a professional videographer, photographer, creative producer, and director across Australia and the United States.

I deliver high-quality photo and video content for corporate events, branded campaigns, and creative projects, with a focus on clear storytelling, strong visuals, and reliable execution. Backed by a background in psychology, I create comfortable, efficient on-camera environments that help people show up naturally and confidently.

Founded in 2017, Phoenix Eye has grown into a network of 30+ associate creatives, delivering 200+ projects ranging from event coverage and promotional content to short and feature films. I remain hands-on in production and regularly collaborate with other film and media companies when projects require additional scale or specialised expertise.

Clients value my ability to adapt quickly, meet tight deadlines, and integrate seamlessly into teams while delivering professional results from capture through to final delivery.

We Do More Than Make Videos

Phoenix Eye Films is a global creative studio that goes beyond traditional video production. We partner with clients worldwide to develop strategic, high-impact content and social media campaigns designed to engage audiences and deliver measurable results.

Founded in Fairfield, Western Sydney, and expanding to Las Vegas, USA in 2021, our team works across borders using grassroots virtual production models, alongside contemporary filmmaking approaches such as remote production and virtual collaboration. This allows us to operate efficiently while maintaining a high standard of creative and technical excellence.

Through film, photography, and live performance, we amplify underrepresented voices and strengthen community connection. Led by a diverse team of multi-disciplinary creatives, Phoenix Eye specialises in producing inclusive, culturally resonant content with clarity, intention, and purpose.

Alongside client work, we actively develop crowdfunded, award-recognised feature films that screen at international festivals and secure distribution. Our practice is grounded in real-world experience — we apply the same discipline, innovation, and storytelling standards to every project we take on.
