About

Millennium Blonde is a production company founded by husband-and-wife team Michael Borowiec & Sam Marine Borowiec, a filmmaking duo originally from New York.

Together they’ve written, directed, produced and edited award-winning films, TV pilots and music videos, with a focus on creating unique, genre-bending stories about the strange, lonely and misunderstood.

Their debut feature film, Man Underground, won Best First Feature at the Fantasia Film Festival and was distributed by Lionsgate/Indican Pictures with a limited theatrical release.

They went on to participate in The Gotham’s TV Series Lab with the proof-of-concept pilot I Adore Dolores, which won Most Outrageous at the Orlando Film Festival and was named one of Vulture’s Must-Watch Comedy Shorts.

Just before the pandemic, they were selected for the 2020 Frontières Financing & Packaging Forum in Karlskrona, Sweden, where they pitched their western horror/drama feature Desert Witch.

They’ve since completed the improvised comedy short Maggie So Low, named one of NoBudge’s Best Films of 2021, and their drama feature screenplay Swing Low was a finalist in the 2022 Emerging Screenwriters Genre Competition.

In 2022, their horror/drama feature Surgat was selected for the Frontières International Co-Production Market. The film is currently in the financing stage, with Josh Ruben (Werewolves Within) producing, and Francesca Reale (Stranger Things), Dagmara Domińczyk (Succession) and Tony Cavalero (The Righteous Gemstones) attached to star.

Their newest feature, It Walks On All Fours, is a found-footage horror film directed by Malin Barr and Sam Marine, with Mike producing, writing, editing and overseeing visual effects. It was selected as a finalist for Fantastic Pitches 2026, the Fantastic Fest financing lab, and is now in pre-production.

Mike and Sam first met in college, graduating with BFAs from the film conservatory at SUNY Purchase, where they later went on to teach film production and screenwriting. They both currently teach filmmaking at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts.

In their downtime, they write and record music with their punk band, BLOAF. Check out their debut EP Sounds Bad Man on Spotify.
