With a BA in visual media in Mexico and documentary filmmaking studies in Ireland, Santiago worked for almost two years as a field producer for entertainment TV channel EXA TV. His documentary "Alena" earned him an official selection in Dublin's Oxegen Film Festival, and "Costa Sur" received a special aknowledgement from the International Congress of Ambientalists in Mexico City, as well as an official screening in Voces por el Silencio Film Festival. "Costa Sur" is more than a documentary, is an insight into the sea turttle's illegal egg trafficking and people involved in both sides of the story; the "heroes" protecting the eggs and the "villains" that have no other way to look after their families.
Recently Santiago directed alongside Jorge Cervera Hauser a videoclip for indie's mexican rock band VOXX which is being produced by Leonardo de Lozanne.
By request of the Chinese goverment, Santiago and Jorge produced and directed a short documentary about the pandas in Mexico's City Zoo. The short film is to be shown in a Film Festival sorrounding the 2008 Olympics.
