We had the good fortune of connecting with Mike Cuenca and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mike, what do you want your legacy to be?
That I did it for myself. And for people to get a kick out of all the small things that connect all my movies.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
DIY filmmaker. For the past fourteen years. That includes a punk rock web series, a couple of shorts, several music videos, and six feature films all made with zero money. Definitely not easy. Clearly the drive stems from having to keep my brain occupied haha.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I dig the Museum of Jurassic Technology. Very inspirational.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
