Working both in front of and behind the camera on numerous projects, including writing, producing and directing features, commercials, PSAs and short films, Mancuso manifests a distinct edge and perspective into the world of filmmaking.

Between 2006 and 2008 he wrote, produced and directed a compelling documentary titled American Harvest about value and relationship between the American farmer and the mostly illegal migrant workers who harvest their crops. Mancuso is developing documentary films and continues to write and direct both fictional narrative films and music sometimes combining both crafts into one project.
