Monica Santis

Who: A director writing her first feature, based on her award-winning short “Hacia el Sol (Towards the Sun)”

Biggest Lesson Learned: “A producer gave me great advice for when I’m pitching. He asked me, ‘What’s one word that encapsulates the essence of your story?’ When he reads scripts, he finds one keyword that summarizes the story; now I do the same. That helps steer the development phase.”
