Cathy Rankin Takes Lead Role in Marco Santiago’s ‘Diablita’ from Volarefilms LLC
Cathy Rankin joins Marco Santiago’s high-energy action/comedy film from Volarefilms LLC to play the female lead of Kimberly Libretta. The film is Marco’s surrealistic and twisted take of the Hollywood development process, which he lampoons in “Diablita”.
(PRWEB) April 20, 2005 – Directed and executive produced by award winning
filmmaker Marco Santiago (El Trafico, Once Upon a Time in the Desert, Into the
Border), and with an anticipated production start date of May 21, “Diablita”
will be shot as a 35mm short film project.
“Cathy Rankin brings the right
combination of wit and sex appeal to the project.” says Marco. A highly
accomplished actor and print model, Cathy has made numerous appearances on
television, including ABC’s Monday Night Football pre-game promo with Leslie
Neilson, a segment on America’s Most Wanted, numerous infomercials, commercials
and more. She recently completed leading roles in two feature length films, the
Selena Incident and Pieces of A Dream. Both projects are in post-production.
Cathy is also a regular hosts on shows such as ABC’s Destination TV in Phoenix,
and iSPORTSTV, which is broadcast worldwide over the Internet. “I can’t wait to
work on Marco’s project.” Cathy says. “Not only because I admire and relate to
his scripts, but also because of the high production quality that is evident in
his work. Volarefilms is gaining excellent industry exposure, and this project
is the perfect vehicle to showcase my acting ability in a character that is not
only fun and interesting, but also has depth and complexity.” She
continues.
“Diablita”, Spanish for She Devil, is a satiric and
surrealistic lampooning of the Hollywood development process. The story centers
around a screenwriter that meets with two studio executives, who then proceed to
turn the screenwriter’s story into a Hollywood style T&A laden running gun
battle between two hot and sexy females in order to conform to a commercial
marketing strategy. “The story is filled with black humor and irony.” Says
Marco. “The interesting thing about the story is that it lampoons itself. It is
a Hollywood style production, complete with hyper-kinetic chase sequences, gun
battles, hot woman, and fast talking executives. It lampoons itself by being
over the top and absurd. The operative word here is hyper-reality.” Marco
Continues. Cathy Rankin will join Amy Weber, who plays the title role of
Diablita.
