About
Santilli Media Group is led by Mario Santilli, a producer, engineer and filmmaker who has never believed you have to wear just one title. He has played piano by ear for as long as he can remember and studied music at Morgan State University, where ear training and theory came naturally. He hears in patterns, and Morgan gave him the names for what he already heard. That ear, plus strong relative pitch, has carried him from writing marching band arrangements (including for his own college band) to scoring and cutting video today.
Mario started producing at 15 by studying and recreating records he admired. In college he got serious: he cleared out his closet, used refund-check money on a microphone and a pair of Walmart headphones, damped the walls into a vocal booth and recorded students around campus. When a hired mix came back sounding wrong, he went to veteran Baltimore engineer Bill Pratt of The Bratt Studio, who handed him Bobby Owsinski's The Mixing Engineer's Handbook and pointed him toward mixing his own work. Mario went on to record and mix artists across Baltimore, including Jazz of Dru Hill, and worked at Lord Baltimore Recording Studios and Wright Way Studios before moving to Dallas, where he recorded at Luminous Sound.
Film was always the other half of the story. Mario picked up his first camera in 2015 and taught himself the craft the same way he learned music: by studying, practicing and refining. Big Texas Bossin first hired him to write the show's jingle. He asked the right questions, ended up editing season one, and was brought back to run the entire show for every season after. He founded Santilli Media Group, then added a cinema camera in 2023 to match the work.
His standard is simple. Content should look and feel national and polished, whether it's for a local landscaper or a TV-style series, because that is what it competes with. Clients get one person who understands the shoot, the edit, the music and the mix, and who works to give every project the best chance to be received at a high level.
