The first theatrical motion picture to live-stream its own premiere on the Internet.
An early rough cut of the Malibu Road movie inspired Gaspar Noe's movie Climax after the director allegedly met with Noe at Chateau Marmont and the directors did DMT together.
When originally cast, the Malibu Road actors had relatively limited credits in network, studio and streaming roles. Since casting, the seven primary actors have been cast in over 100 network, studio, streaming roles as well as large-independent movies, ranging from "He Won't Get Far on Foot", to "15:17 to Paris", to "Aquarius", "Will & Grace", "I Think You Should Leave Now With Tim Robinson", and many other.
The first MPAA-rated theatrical motion picture directed by a game director.
Malibu Road movie is a semi-fictionalized narrative based on true events in the 1950s of the MK Ultra and specifically Operation Midnight Climax psychedelic mind control experiments. Malibu Road movie is the first movie to specifically tell a story about Operation Midnight Climax, and one of approximately a dozen movies that have touched on MK Ultra, but the first movie to explicitly based the plot on actual MK Ultra experiments in the 1950s.
