“In such a time as now where mental health issues are prevalent, it is important to humor the struggles that people face in their lives and this movie does just that," Bovi shared.

"Everyone goes through unfortunate events that they believe are beyond their control, it is important to have these conversations so that people know that they’re not alone in their struggles, everyone is going through something.”

'My Village People' follows the story of Prince (Bovi), a free-spirited bachelor who visits his village for his sister’s wedding. Amidst the excitement, he forgets cautionary tales and loses his guard, the circumstances that occur lead to a series of supernatural and unfortunate events including losing his job.
