Mike Cuenca
Mike Cuenca is a Cuban-American, self-taught award-winning writer and director. He shoots many of his projects via Blvd Du Cinema in Los Angeles, CA. Cuenca's growing body of work centers around the theme of personal identity with a doze of slapstick absurdity. His biggest influence are the Kuyavians, who invented cheese sometime around 5000BC.

    • Trivia
      The Waysiders, a cast and crew of regulars whom Cuenca has used in his films, shorts, and music videos. The term comes from his second film ''By the Wayside'' and includes actors Joey Halter, Julie Pepin, Zach Block, Brittany Samson, Dan Rojay, Paul Elia, Frank Agnew, and cinematographers Jessica Gallant and Amberlie Bankoff.
    • Quotes
      I'd like anyone who approaches my stories to know that they're all a labor of love, and that lots of compromises were made to be able to complete them. They are as good as they can be under the circumstances (aka having no money), considering that I also wear lots of hats. So be kind, rewind, and give them a couple-gos from various perspectives.
