The 1990s were my cinematic north star—indie films like Pulp Fiction, The Blair Witch Project, and Clerks weren’t just movies; they were a revolution. Low budgets, big ideas, and a shot at the big screen felt within reach. Now, in 2025, running Cereprods from Puerto Rico, I see a different beast: a sprawling, digital indie world that’s both thrilling and maddening. So, how did we get from that golden age to this platform-driven chaos? Let’s dig in
Viewing entries in
Underground
In anticipation of Sugarfields producer ANDREW MCLAREN's upcoming series, details to be announced, check out his work on the Discovery Channel show CHROME UNDERGROUND available now on iTunes.
Andrew McLaren providing the muscle in CHROME UNDERGROUND
The show follows two guys who run a collector and classic car business named Yusuf Johnson and Antonio Brunet. Their shop is called Motoreum and it’s located in Austin, Texas. Basically both of these guys used to source collector cars from the US to sell, restore, or auction and did well at it for many years. Since rare and collector cars are harder to find in the states nowadays they travel to foreign countries to buy and then bring back cars to sell here.
As they travel the world acquiring valuable cars, we see them journey through Latin and South American countries and sometimes put themselves in danger, to get diamond in the rough vehicles in good-great condition.
