Rafael Soto was born and raised in NYC. As a child, he could be found staring at the housing projects in the distance, daydreaming about the lives of the people there and breaking out into “Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina” for his “descamisados.” Upon graduating from Pace University, he moved to Los Angeles, attended the Baron Brown Acting Studio, and was cast in several indie films. Disillusioned by the clichéd Latino parts available, he dove into screenwriting. His first pilot, a dark comedy entitled Broker Boys, follows a young man from the Bronx who after the loss of his family goes to work on Wall Street to make fast money so he can end his own life. His most recent feature, Scared to Fly, tells the story of Yaya, who gets diagnosed with cancer and decides to take a spur of the moment cross-country road trip with her aging son, somewhat senile husband, and sick dog to surprise her family, in Los Angeles.
