Jesus Figueroa, @T@Thisfunktionalf ThisFunktional.com, talks with filmmaker Antonio Muñoz de Mesa about feature film SANTA ZETA. Influencer by day. Vigilante by night. Zoe is a world-class travel influencer, amassing millions of followers by exploring the globe through her vibrant channel, "Santa Zeta". But when the Vlogging ends, her true mission begins: she uses her public persona as a perfect cover to track and eliminate child predators. Fueled by the unsolved murder of her little sister, Zoe embarks on a relentless hunt across three continents—from the underground neon of Seoul to the gritty sprawl of Los Angeles. As she closes in on a global network, the digital trail leads her back to her own hometown in Spain, where she must confront a nightmare far closer to home than she ever imagined. “Santa Zeta,” at its core takes themes of rage, grief, and helplessness from one of the darkest realities of our time: child abuse and offers us a protagonist who is fearless and amazing in the ultimate revenge thriller using its rules, rhythms, and visceral energy as a Trojan horse. Genre allows the filmmakers to speak about the unspeakable. Action, tension, and suspense became tools not for escapism, but for engagement. Santa Zeta asks uncomfortable questions while moving forward relentlessly, refusing to let the audience look away. Filmmaking Team: Written, directed, edited by Antonio Muñoz de Mesa, produced by Jordi Monedero Roiz, cinematography in Spain by Beatriz Pagés & Toni Cardenes, cinematography in USA & Korea by Park Sang-Bin, music by Lola Barroso, and sound design by Pablo Isola.
