El Trafico Gains Entrance into the 5th Annual Phoenix International Film Festival
El Trafico, an independent short film from Volarefilms LLC and directed by Marco Santiago Jr., gains acceptance into the 5th annual Phoenix International Film Festival. The film festival, scheduled to run from April 7th through April 10th 2005, will exhibit "El Trafico" as part of its slate of short and feature length films.
Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) March 16, 2005 -- Directed by award wining filmmaker
Marco Santiago, El Trafico won top honors last May at the 24th annual MP/TV film
festival in Scottsdale, Arizona, including Best of Show, Best Dramatic Short,
Best Directing, and Best Cinematography, among other notable awards. The story
reflects the growing violence involved in the trafficking of humans. Set in
Southern Arizona, the story depicts a young boy who gets caught-up in the
underworld of human traffickers. "El Trafico" is one of a series of short films
directed by Marco Santiago that deal with immigration issues in the United
States, human trafficking in general, and their associated violence. "We feel
that this film is as timely as you can get considering the current events in the
United States and the rest of the world, and the Phoenix International Film
Festival is a perfect venue for local and regional audiences to appreciate the
theme expressed in this film." says Marco. "El Trafico is only the beginning.
The plan is to continue to crank out content that is relevant, emotionally
impacting, and entertaining,” he continues.
Volarefilms LLC is currently
in pre-production of a 35mm action/comedy short film titled Diablita, a story
about how a screenwriter’s concept goes south during a surreal development
meeting as two fast-talking studio executives proceed to turn his script concept
into a T&A laden, gun fest driven, car chase between two hot & sexy
females, in order to conform to a Hollywood style commercial marketing strategy.
Diablita is set to begin production in late May.
