About the Founder - Marco Santiago Jr.

Marco is a two-time fellow of the NALIP (National Association of Latino Independent Producers) Writers Lab for 2006 and 2007 where he developed two feature film screenplays, 86, and How to Cope with Suburban Stress, which is based on a novel by David Galef. Both of these projects were finalist for consideration to the Sundance Writers Lab for 2007 and 2008, selected in the top 10% out of 2300 National and International submissions.

Marco is also a two-time fellow of the NALIP Producers Academy - In 2006 as a producing fellow and then again in 2007 as a directing fellow where he shot several scenes from his feature film in development, 86, under the mentorship of Director Luis Mandoki (Message in a Bottle, Angle Eyes, When a Man Loves a Woman, Amazing Grace, Born Yesterday, White Palace, Trapped), Alfredo De Villa (Washington Heights, Adrift in Manhattan) and by writers Miguel Tejada-Flores (Lion King, Revenge of the Nerds, Screamers, Beyond Re-Animator), Ligiah Villalobos (Under the Same Moon, Go, Diego! Go!, Walkout, Ed). 86 has since been optioned by Diana Lesmez, former President of Production at Arenas Entertainment (Empire, Nicotina, Imagining Argentina). 86 was recently featured in a five page feature article in the April issue of Indie Slate Magazine.

Marco is former CEO of AviaBid.com, the Internet’s first B2B aviation auction destination. In 2001 the Aviation Internet Directory: A guide to 500 Best Aviation Websites", published by McGraw-Hill Publishing, listed Aviabid.com among its sites. Marco attended Arizona State University where he majored in Aerospace Engineering, History, and Applied Mathematics. He also holds a B.A. in Business from Western International University. Most recently Marco took on the study of human and cultural anthropology, believing that the best stories can be told from a combination of life experiences and a profound understanding of human nature.

Marco launched filMixer in March of 2008 in the hopes of establishing a destination for the film and media professional - a place where friends and collaborations can be formed.
