Indican Pictures is elated to begin the year by releasing a new movie, Y2K dramedy “Millennium Bugs” by Mexican American director Alejandro Montoya Marin. The film is now available on DVD and On Demand on Apple TV, Prime Video, Vudu, Google Play, DirecTV and others.
At the turn of the century, two friends played by, Michael Lovato (Third Act) and Katy Erin (The Lincoln Lawyer), attempt to navigate the rest of their lives in the coming-of-age, potential end-of-the-world dramedy.
“Millennium Bugs is my love letter to the 90’s. I wanted to do something I have never seen: A Latino led flick about true friendship set in 1999. After doing Rebel Without a Crew with Robert Rodriguez, I was inspired. Everyone says directing your second feature film is the hardest. They are right. But it was also an eye-opening experience. This was as indie as indie gets. People donated time, countless hours to bring this to life. Since the movie is about friendship, it made sense I brought in the talent and producers I consider my friends. Hopefully our passion and love for cinema rubbed on our Y2K comedy ” said director Montoya Marin from the set of his new film in New Mexico.
