While a junior in high school, Millican helped a college friend with a communications project and fell in love with the industry.
Millican attended three different high schools (Dripping Springs, Austin Anderson, and graduated from Kennedale south of Fort Worth, Texas).
Millican attended and graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington from 1983 to 1989 with a bachelor's degree in communications with a major in Radio/TV and a double minor in English and Drama.
With his first film The Keyman: Finding Redemption [1], Millican explored the issues of regret and abandonment on the streets and the destructive power of unforgiveness.
When the film was being cast, Millican chose veteran Los Angeles actor Tom Wright to play the role of a homeless man.
Millican's sophomore project was the film A Promise Kept starring Sean Patrick Flanery, Joey Lauren Adams, Jeff Speakman and Mimi Rogers (The Gunman for US video).
The film was shot in and around Millican's birth city of Austin (even though he lives in the Dallas Fort Worth area) in the winter of 2002 and 2003.
Like Rodriguez, Millican writes, directs, produces and edits his own features and even occasionally composes and performs the musical score.
Millican in 2018 founded the Taking Off YouTube channel focusing on general aviation news, rambles and a show InTheHanger.
