Songs Of Surrender. Out Now: http://u2.lnk.to/SOS

Luis G Santos was born and raised in the Bronx, NY to a businessman Father and a white-collar worker Mother who’s a closeted writer. As a child, Luis observed his father’s strong business acumen by day & snuck around the house to find his mother’s beautiful-yet-hidden writings at night. This juxtaposition is what sparked Luis’ obsession with developing a strong business sense while consistently fostering his never-ending dedication to perfecting his artistic craft. While writing & directing his own short films in hopes of developing projects for TV & FILM, Luis climbed the corporate ladder - starting an internship at 72&sunny and later producing at Mother NY, McCann, & VEVO. This collection of experiences has helped Luis attain a deep understanding of how to excel as a director, writer, and producer in Film, TV, & Commercial productions while also enabling him to properly understand the corporate structure firsthand.

Luis has also carved a lane for himself in the Music & Live entertainment spaces, directing live work for artists such as Future, Arcangel, Jessie Reyes, Pusha T, Latto, & many more.

"The song really inspired me creatively when working on the concept for this film. For me it was all about finding those moments in our lives throughout different ages where we feel like life is not in our control, and also portraying different ways in which we as humans try to fight back and grasp for control of our lives when we feel ourselves losing it."

"U2's attention to detail and lyricism have always inspired me. When speaking about this song in specific, it's a strong case study for understanding how to create timeless art that resonates years later. With my work, I'm always interested in answering the question "what does it mean to be human?" & I love that U2's work seems to be looking to answer the same question within the musical artform."
