`Partners` Film Short Could Become Full Feature

Geo Santini, the director best known for his visual, cutting-edge music videos, and now, for his recent film short, `Partners`, is becoming Hollywood`s latest directing phenom. He worked in conjunction with Alliance Entertainment Group for this film short, which has caught the attention some of the film industry`s top executives.

`Partners` - which has been compared to Memento and Reservoir Dogs with an urban and edgy twist - revolves around 3 friends involved in the seedy crime world, and what happens when betrayal, greed, and dishonesty enter the picture. The film is set to begin shooting in January of 2006. In the meantime, the film short can be seen at many film festivals, including the The Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival on Saturday, October 22nd, 2005.

What caught the attention of industry insiders was Geo Santini`s ability to artfully combine scenes keeping the viewer continuously interested in the film. Viewers watching the short found themselves interested in learning more about the characters and where they were going next. `I feel strongly that a good film will leave you desiring more, while leaving you satisfied at the same time. If you look at the top Director`s in the film industry, that is what they accomplish over and over again,` says Geo Santini.

Aware of the largely competitive film market, Geo Santini devised a strategy to gain the attention of film executives. Santini created Partners as a film short, giving investors a visually stunning sample of what a complete project would resemble. Apparently this young Director`s strategy has paid off, as his film short has sparked a bidding war between major moviemakers.
