First, I should check if "Ekis 1999" is a real movie. A quick search shows limited information. Maybe it's a lesser-known independent film. However, I can't find any official records of a movie by that exact title. The inclusion of "Sunshine Cruz" might be a key here. If she was in this movie and it's from 1999, maybe it's an older film that's not widely known. Alternatively, perhaps the movie's actual title is "Ekis" and the "1999" is part of the title or the setting.
