Fiction, poetry, music and mindscape pictures by creative artist Jason Santo

Jason Santo

Creative Artist
I am a New England-based creative artist, father and web developer. An award-winning ultra-independent moviemaker, I've written and directed over 40 short narratives - ranging in length from 10-60 minutes. In addition to writing and directing, I have also worked as an actor, producer, editor, film score composer and director of photography. All that said, my first love is language and storytelling, so when I'm not penning poetry, I'm composing microfiction and serialized narratives.
