Never a stranger to exorbitant challenges, this time around Montoya Marin directed the short film The Wrong Guy remotely after testing positive for Covid 19.

“I don’t know what was more challenging. Shooting a full-length feature film in 2 weeks with a budget of only $7,000 in Rebel Without a Crew or shooting The Wrong Guy remotely while battling Covid. We faced many challenges. That said, we are very happy with the results and look forward to screening at Dances With Films” said Montoya Marin.
Employing mediocre workouts and harmful diets, he believes he’s a hero as he enacts revenge on those who’ve crossed him, by way of petty vandalism. But his actions have new consequences when he is caught “dealing out justice” to the property of a desperate and corrupt government agent who will extort Daniel for all he’s worth.
The film was written by Montoya Marin and John Kaler. They both met at SXSW 2018, where Montoya Marin screened his first feature film, the El Rey Network produced MONDAY (Available on ROKU).
