The Life Force: The Supernatural Thriller Captivating Film Festivals.
Award-Winning Filmmaker Sandra Santiago Premieres "The Life Force," A Poetic and Visually Arresting Exploration of Loss, Renewal, and the Invisible Forces That Heal Us.
Los Angeles - June 23, 2025 - With the grace of a seasoned storyteller and the soul of a survivor, award-winning actress and filmmaker Sandra Santiago [https://www.instagram.com/sandrasantiago_official/] announces the official release of The Life Force, a short film that explores the emotional and spiritual energy that carries us through grief, healing, and transformation.
Poetic and deeply human, The Life Force tells the story of Gina, a woman navigating the aftermath of personal loss who rediscovers a sense of meaning and connection through unexpected encounters. Rich in visual storytelling and grounded in emotional truth, the film offers an introspective reflection on the invisible strength that sustains us in difficult times.
"This story is about the invisible threads - love, memory, spirit - that continue to move us forward," said Santiago. "It's personal, but also something everyone has felt."

Born from Friendship, Built on Vision:
The film is a result of the creative collaboration and personal bond between Sandra Santiago, Eric Marinho, and Reinaldo Vandres. Their friendship, rooted in shared life experiences and spiritual conversations, became the foundation for this artistic endeavor. What started as a series of candid discussions about loss, resilience, and healing grew into a cinematic project with universal relevance.
"We weren't just making a movie," said executive producer Reinaldo Vandres. "We were translating our own lives into something others could heal from, too."

Created in Crisis, Powered by Community:
The project was conceived and produced at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, during a time when the film industry was virtually paralyzed. Thanks to the support of individual donors who believed in the filmmakers' vision, The Life Force overcame major obstacles to become a finished work. Their contributions were instrumental in transforming a creative idea into a healing work of art.
"In a moment when filmmaking had nearly stopped, our donors helped us rise," Santiago said. "They didn't just fund a film - they lifted a message meant to heal."
