Director’s Bio
Noémi Santo
Director/Writer/Producer
Noémi grew up as a dancer. Thoroughly submerged in the arts, she imagined life on stage in one way or another. Nothing else felt right, until one day at the age of 16, a classmate asked her to be in a short film. A world behind a camera had never occurred to her until that moment. Fireworks exploded and film school followed. For many years she was told to choose between a life in front of the camera and a life behind it, but her mix of stubbornness and passion proved them wrong. She has since been seizing opportunities in both arenas, also honing her craft producing features like “This Game’s Called Murder” and the upcoming “Vampires of the Velvet Lounge” with director, Adam Sherman.
