DEAN SANTOS, Teddy
Dean Santos comes from Belize, and works in the military. He lives with his family in Cayo, and enjoys listening to reggae music. Yochi was his first encounter with filmmaking. He says: "Yochi is so touching because it is based on a story of sacred Maya land. It helps us realize how helpful nature is and why we should conserve our jewel. This loving, mute little boy, Yochi, is fighting to conserve the land his grandfather has preserved for years and passed on to the next generation."
