Netflix recently announced the upcoming release of Technoboys, a Spanish-language film featuring Luis Gerardo Méndez. The storyline revolves around a boyband making a comeback after two decades of being on top of the charts. However, the music industry has drastically changed during their absence, and they find themselves struggling to regain their former glory. Amidst the challenges faced by the group, the lead singer, Alan, harbors a hidden motive for reentering the music scene.
In addition to portraying the band’s lead singer, Alan, Méndez is taking on the responsibility of co-directing Technoboys alongside Gerardo Gatica. Being a seasoned actor with an impressive list of film and TV credits, including roles in popular productions like The Noble Family and Narcos: Mexico, Méndez is now stepping into the realm of movie direction. His passion for filmmaking has long been evident, and he expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to collaborate with Gatica on this project.
For Méndez, the journey to Technoboys has been a culmination of years of dreaming and development. Working closely with screenwriter Alexandro Aldrete and executive producer Gabriel Nuncio, Méndez feels privileged to have Netflix’s support in bringing this story to a global audience. He acknowledges the invaluable contributions of his co-director, Gatica, and expresses excitement about the film’s potential to resonate with viewers around the world.
While Technoboys marks a significant milestone in Méndez’s career, he shows no signs of slowing down. His upcoming projects include a role in Skincare, a film by Austin Peters featuring Elizabeth Banks, Nathan Fillion, and Lewis Pullman. Additionally, Méndez recently wrapped up filming for the Amazon limited series Stanley, showcasing his versatility as an actor across different platforms.
As Méndez’s star continues to rise in the entertainment industry, his foray into directing with Technoboys underscores his commitment to exploring new creative horizons. With a diverse array of projects on the horizon and a strong support system backing his endeavors, Méndez’s journey promises to be as exciting and fulfilling as the characters he brings to life on screen.
