Alejandro Santoni
Adventurous digital nomad Alberto Buenaventura becomes absurdly stuck in New York City. To find a way out, he must zigzag across the 5 boroughs, dealing with various groups of diverse characters that complicate the process and make him re-examine his unattached lifestyle.

Filmed low-fi guerilla-style in the middle of real street life, "Alberto" subverts, deconstructs, and transforms the adventure genre into something Kafkaesque, morphing from fun to angst-ridden.

Alejandro Santoni is a Puerto Rican actor whose fire was forged in struggle, identity, and defiance. Born in Mayagüez and raised between Puerto Rico, New York, and Los Angeles, Santoni brings a rare authenticity to the screen - a magnetic presence rooted in lived experience and decades of dedication to the craft.

He trained in New York, earning a master's degree in acting, and exploded onto the independent film scene with Alberto and the Concrete Jungle, directed by Chris Shimojima. His breakout performance earned him the Best Actor Award at the 13th Annual Bushwick Film Festival, and won praise from critics across the board:

"Santoni's work is a testament to the craft of acting. It's skillful, funny, poignant, and rich." - IMDb "Carries the film on his shoulders with ease... magnetic." - Film Inquiry "Effortlessly charming." - Film Threat "Sincere, spontaneous, and full of heart." - UK Film Review

He has also appeared on CBS's FBI, portraying cartel figure Jorge Madrigal, showcasing his ability to command darker, high-stakes roles with nuance and strength.

But Alejandro is not just an actor - he is a voice, a creator, and a necessary presence in an industry that has too often erased Puerto Rican men. His performances are powered by urgency: the pressure of a father chasing a dream, the fire of someone who refuses to be silenced, and the belief that storytelling is revolution.

Now based in Los Angeles, Santoni is ready to lead. He is not asking for permission. He's taking the space that has always been his.
