Hi there NYFA,
My name is James Valdez an MFA Cinematography student completing my time at NYFA and will be filming my thesis film CANTA SANTIAGO during the week of May 30 to June 5 (exact dates TBD)
ACTING ROLES: (Spanish Speaking)
SANTIAGO is a young Mexican/American boy who loves music (15-21yo looking). He is a talented SINGER and loves singing in SPANISH. He is nervous in the back stage of the restaurant as he is about to perform for the people dining. This is the first time he will be singing without his older brother, Miguel, by his side. They used to sing together all the time. Remembering his brother, he performs on stage. Santiago is introverted and doesn't share his emotions. The loss of his brother is still new, just 3 months ago. **If you can sing in Spanish well please add a clip in submission (think Vicente Fernandez music)**
MIGUEL (18-25yo looking) arrives after Santiago messes up singing on stage and walks onto the stage to him. He talks with his brother and consoles him. They then SING on stage together. **If you can sing in Spanish very well please say in submission (think Vicente Fernandez music)**
