About
Biography
Bea Santos is a Canadian filmmaker and actor with a decade of experience on set.
Her acting credits include principal roles in HBO’s third season of True Detective and the Ethan Hawke led bank drama Stockholm which premiered at Tribeca in 2019. She was a series regular for all 3 seasons of Hulu’s The Hardy Boys and has recurred for 7 seasons on CBC’s Murdoch Mysteries.
Bea studied literature and art history at McGill University in Montreal and is an alumna of the Norman Jewison Film Program's Directors Lab at the Canadian Film Centre.
Her award-winning shorts have played all over the world, most recently her film Cassandra premiered at Vancouver International Film Festival and Les Fileuses du Destin, her fashion micro-short, was nominated for a CAFTCAD award.
Informed largely by the folktales told by her late Spanish mother and her upbringing among the lakes and trees of a small Muskoka town, Bea's films fuse elements of magic realism with themes of grief, loss, escape and renewal.
