HENRY RAY GOZZO

Based in Mexico City & Italy. Available Worldwide!

BORN IN THE ITALIAN DOLOMITES. RAISED IN SOUTH AFRICA.

I grew up in small towns, between different continents, cultures and traditions. My family traveled as often as possible to witness the world firsthand, learning through experience. I've traveled to over 40 countries and studied Law and Economics before diving full-time into Film and storytelling.

I’ve directed & filmed documentaries, narrative and commercial work across Africa, Europe, North & Latin America, with small focused teams in tough environments and scaled up crew for larger, more controlled shoots.

Most recently, I directed and DoP'd seven episodes for the series 'From Scratch' streaming on Peacock. 
A social media campaign for Coca-Cola Africa and a year-long project reinventing the South African National cricket team's social media and documenting their international tours. 
Exploring the extraordinary world of ordinary fishermen, cheesemakers, chefs, and luthiers & other working hands throughout the world, keeping cultures alive and passing down traditions through generational storytelling.

Great stories deserve to be told, regardless of scale or access.

In 2026 Henry Ray, along with Andres Santiago Rios & Mauricio Santiago, created:
