SANTIAGO The Award-Winning No-Low Budget Feature Film

by Daniel Woltosz
(Los Angeles)

SANTIAGO tells the story of three very different men; Miguel (Dan Lopecci) as the actor who hires a film student, Billy (Wesam Keesh) to document a day in the life of a very dangerous drug-dealer pimp, Santiago (Jesus Guevara). Santiago leads Miguel and Billy through an underworld where drugs, sex and violence are an everyday occurrence. Through this journey we witness men of violence and prostitutes who once came to this country for better things, but now have to survive the only way they can.
