Born November 4, 1975 and raised in a conservative family in the
suburban outskirts of Mexico City. Attended and got suspended from
several of the most renowned schools in town. Tricked his way into
Universidad Iberoamericana and completed Communications Studies, with a
minor in Film.
After directing a now infamous short film, Salim chilim tecohidimm (2002), and a string of very unsuccessful pornographic features featuring himself and no one else, Mr. Santi, as he is known to his friends, landed a job as a third Assistant Director in The Tiger of Santa Julia (2002) and from then on, continued his career behind the cameras and away from any possibility of something resembling a creative decision on a number of features and short films. Inspired by his encounter with John Sayles , whom he met while shooting _Casa de Los Babys (2003)_, Santiago decided to clean up his act, abandon his long lasting romance with psychedelic drugs, and enroll himself in the cheapest film school he could find for a couple of years. Beware, because he promised to return with a vengeance.
