Director Michael D. Olmos is the 34-year old adopted son of activist and actor Edward James Olmos (Stand and Deliver). After graduating from Columbia University with degrees in Contemporary American Literature and Creative Writing, Michael mentored under filmmaker Robert M. Young (Alambrista!). Like father, like son, Michael’s debut feature film, Splinter, is a politically charged vision of a highly volatile world. Dreamer (Enrique Almeida) is just that, a dreamer; slowly regaining his consciousness and memory after being caught in the crossfire of his brother, Shaggy’s (Billy Garcia) murder. Dreamer is on a mission to reveal his brother’s killer, while attempting to continue his deceased brother’s mission to keep the peace between rival neighborhood gangs. Dreamer’s intention is in complete syncopation with a newly transplanted female detective, Gramm (Resmine Atis). Realizing that even their partner/family seem to operating in opposition to them, they try to help each other.
