Hey, I'm Santana!
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Hi All,
Currently, I am the Co-Creator and Co-Writer of Black Girl Training; a comedy series about a transracial adoptee who moves to the city for college and has to learn what it means "to be black." This is currently in development. We're almost done with the script and plan to sell it soon!
I am the Co-Producer and hopefully soon to be the Engagement Coordinator of When Claude Got Shot; A documentary exploring the aftermath of a weekend of gun violence and how it affected the lives of 3 African-American families in Milwaukee WI. This is currently in post.
Also in development is my first short film and directorial debut, The Last Week; A love story from the point of view of a woman who spends the last week with her boyfriend before he goes to prison.
I am so excited to connect with you all and learn about your films!
