DIRECTOR

​

SANTIAGO WAS BORN AND RAISED IN MEXICO CITY. BECAUSE HIS MOTHER WAS A PEDAGOGUE, SHE EXPERIMENTED WITH HIS EDUCATION AND MADE HIM TAKE A VARIETY OF PRIVATE LESSONS THAT WENT FROM JAPANESE TO FIGURE SKATING. HOWEVER, IT WAS THE FACT THAT SHE MADE HIM WATCH AKIRA KUROSAWA’S ENTIRE FILMOGRAPHY BY AGE 12 THAT EVENTUALLY LED HIM TO PURSUE A CAREER IN FILM. HE STUDIED COMMUNICATIONS AT THE UNIVERSIDAD IBEROAMERICANA AND GRADUATED IN 2010. HE THEN WENT TO WORK AS A 2ND AND 3RD AD IN FILMS SUCH AS LUC BESSON’S PRODUCTION “COLOMBIANA”. SANTIAGO IS CURRENTLY A DIRECTING FELLOW AT THE AMERICAN FILM INSTITUTE.
