Gabriel De Santiago

Gabriel De Santiago is a Mexican-American filmmaker based in Los Angeles, California. He originally moved to the city to pursue a career in acting, but his journey took an unexpected turn when he stumbled upon a small film class at Playhouse West. The class opened the door to his love for the art of filmmaking, and before it was over, he had written and begun production on his first short film. Over the next few years, Gabriel honed his craft, studying extensively and drawing inspiration from books such as "Story," "Save the Cat," and "The Writer's Journey" to develop his skills in storytelling and he would write, direct, and produce three more short films, with each one being a teacher in its own right. Over the years, Gabriel has remained committed to pushing his creative boundaries and evolving as a Filmmaker. His latest short film, "Rose," is a 14-minute one-take non linear psychological drama. With each new project, Gabriel strives to learn and evolve as a filmmaker, always seeking to create movies that inspire and captivate audiences. His ultimate goal is to create films that have a lasting impact on viewers, telling stories that resonate with people long after the credits roll.
