Insomnus (2017)
Written, Directed, and Produced by Santi Arenas, Insomnus tells the story of a high school student who gets into an array of shenanigans throughout the night as he fails to fall asleep.
As a producer, I believe in the power of creating platforms for stories and art that the world needs to see. I love connecting artists and creatives in order to create work that they can be proud of and that challenges our conditioned paradigms. As a director, I have experience and a passion for working on projects of all sorts, such as film, music videos, and theatre. My directing approach is extremely collaborative, borrowing Pina Bausch’s idea of “the collective genius.” I believe that, in any creative endeavor, there is not one sole person who steers the ship. It is a collective effort, with many moving parts, and that is beautiful.
