• About Me

    My name is Elifer Santos and I am a filmmaker. I was born and raised in the Philippines and later moved to the town of Banff in Alberta, Canada.

    “I develop relationships with the stories I'm telling”

    My list of credits includes short films, documentaries, music videos and corporate videos. In my spare time I explore older photographs and film, or experiment with new forms of editing and filmmaking. In short, this is both my occupation and my passion.

    Sigur Ros09/12/2010

    The first time I heard Sigur Rós was from the movie, Vanilla Sky, directed by Cameron Crowe. I fell in love with the band’s instrumental, melody and the voice. You can’t make out what he’s singing about but it definitely triggers your emotion. It’s just so uplifting (especially on a rainy day like this). I enjoyed mostly all of their albums. Actually, I love all of their albums.

    I stumbled upon this video as I browsed thru YouTube. It’s just beautiful. Beautiful. A music video like this inspires me to do more videos. There’s so many things that inspires me on every video that I make but I can’t really hand pick what truly inspires me. Thus, they all came out unique in their own way.

    Two Indians Talking (2IT)09/02/2010

    At last! The independent feature film that I worked as Digital Image Technician (or Media Manager) during the film production, and as well as the Editor for the post production, finally has an official trailer. Dylan Baker edited the trailer and Goldtooth Creative polished the post production. Two Indians Talking is written by Andrew Genaille and directed by Sara McIntyre.

    The film will be screening at the Edmonton International Film Festival, Calgary International Film Festival and at the 13th Annual Local Sightings Film Festival. So, get your tickets if you’re nearby this festivals and mark your calendar!

    To get more info of the film, here’s the link.

    First!09/01/2010

    I wasn’t expecting to have a website this soon but opportunities and the possibilities of meeting clients, inspires me to go live. The plan was to go live by January 2011 after all of my projects settle down so at least I could organize my video portfolios. Hence the fact that I still don’t have my showreel posted on the site. But in times like these, you gotta be quick at organizing and making sure that you are producing the right and proper materials to attract clients. The website wasn’t possible without the help of my friend, Ian Houghton, a graphic designer from Adelaide, Australia, whom I met through a good friend of mine, Veronique Maillard. Ian was also the artist behind the logo.

    Other than that, this is my first post on my website and I am thrilled to finally showcase my works to the world.
