Upon his arrival in Mexico, Morayta found employment with the CISA Production Company and in 1943 he directed his first feature film. Morayta directed 73 films throughout his career that ended in 1977. In addition to directing, he wrote screenplays and scripts, and held numerous management positions in a variety of capacities.
