Man Underground

What critics said

“A very special film that instantly announces its co-writing/directing team of Michael Borowiec and Sam Marine as major new talents to watch. In fact, you won’t be able to look away.”

Mitch Davis, Fantasia Film Festival

“This is a strong, well-acted debut that treats its oddball lead with respect and sensitivity, and we’re excited to see what Borowiec and Marine do next.”

“As a love letter to the thrills of conspiracy along with reveling in the lunacy that is indie filmmaking, Man Underground is a fine work indeed.”

“Truly genuine, lived-in performances.”

“The journey is ultimately as sweetly funny as it’s emotionally tragic.”

“A movie that feels truly independent, free of studio restraints and agendas, Man Underground, much like its lead, is a film that wears its heart on its sleeve.”

“Initially humorous but ultimately unsettling… the daring storytelling decision is what makes Man Underground such a bold, memorable film…”

Cinema Slasher

“About as entertaining a film as you are going to find. I was blown away by the writing and direction from Michael Borowiec and Sam Marine.”
