FOR someone whose only acting experience was playing a Boy George lookalike in a high school production of the musical "The Wedding Singer," Harmony Santana is having an incredible year. Ms. Santana is making her big-screen debut in Rashaad Ernesto Green's coming-out drama "Gun Hill Road," which had its premiere in January at the Sundance Film Festival. Last month the movie made a splash on the gay film-festival circuit, opening Outfest in Los Angeles and closing Newfest in New York. It opens commercially in New York on Aug. 5.
