Ika Santamaria
“The name by which the Arauacos are best known in ethnological literature is Ika o Ikja, words that in their own language mean “people".
Santamaria was born in Barranquilla, Colombia and trained as an actor at the renowned Teatro Libre of Bogota. In 1995. She moved to New York City where she studied screenwriting and cinema at New York University.
From 2002 to 2008, Santamaria worked in the production and distribution of films for the Latino market. For her, this was the ground breaking work for understanding the logistics of the TV and Filmmaking industry. During this time, she also managed to do theater where she worked as creative producer, playwright and actor. She traveled and performed internationally.
As Filmmaker she has received awards given by the Women’s International Film Festival, Miami Life Awards, and Women in the Arts. She recently was honored at the Women in The Arts 2013 with the Achievement Award for Best Film Director & the WITA 2013 Filmmaker of the Year as well. Also her last Production “Flea Market Finish Line” won Best Short and Best Actor at L-Dub Film Festival 2012 and is getting many other recognitions in European Film Festivals.
Don't be surprise if you find her on the set of any production, she is always promoting synergies among her colleagues.
"Ika has gathered an extensive experience in different stages of the TV and Film industry:
First of all, as a consumate actress. She follows a technique and is a true professional, bringing personality and an intuitive approach to her characters that influences the rest of the cast.
Ika is also an excellent filmmaker. She writes her own scripts, produces, edits and directs her own material. I have seen some of her work and I have to say that she impresses me. She is an integral professional and is always working on something new.
She is also an acting coach and guru, who is always lending her knowledge to the new actors of South Florida. She teaches and is ready to engage in flash training and rehearsals that will reflect in the acting work of other colleagues." Agatino Zurria.
