History

Santi first worked in Italy, writing and directing short films, and working with other young filmmakers and the director Ermanno Olmi in a group called "Ipotesi Cinema". Santi then took a Master's degree in film production at the University of Southern California, and went on to produce TV specials and documentaries. With Tina Mascara he co-founded "Asphalt Stars Productions". Santi teaches Film Aesthetics and History of Cinema at the College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, California.

An article by Santi in the Huffington Post explains how he first met Don Bachardy in 1992, and how he eventually came to make the documentary Chris & Don, which was released in 2008.
