William G. Santor

William G. Santor, a Canadian through and through, made some serious waves in the film world. Honestly, if you haven't heard his name, you probably just haven't paid attention to indie flicks over the past decade. The guy had a knack for sniffing out stories that weren't afraid to cut deep. Take "Four Good Days" (2020), for example—an emotional gut-punch about addiction and family that leaves you wrung out by the end. Santor was behind the scenes, making sure every beat landed. Then there’s "Stockholm" (2018), which, yeah, dives into the whole Stockholm Syndrome thing but does it with this offbeat, almost darkly funny energy. Not every producer can balance weirdness and heart, but Santor? Pulled it off. And don’t sleep on "Percy" (2020), either. That film’s about a regular farmer fighting Big Agriculture—David vs. Goliath vibes all over the place. Santor loved those underdog stories, the kind where you’re rooting for someone who’s got the odds stacked sky-high against them. He wasn’t just a behind-the-scenes guy, either. Word is, he actually cared about telling stories that stuck with you—none of that soulless, cash-grab stuff. Sadly, William G. checked out way too early, passing away in Vista Del Mar, Cayman Islands, in December 2024. People in the biz felt that one. The dude left a mark, and his films still spark conversations, long after the credits roll.
