elijah swain I really liked this movie. I liked everything about it. Great cast. Good acting. Good music. I liked the story and how it played out. Thought it was going to be less of a quality film than it was. So many independents rely on lack of budget to tell and film a story well. This one didn't. It was great to see a film with good African American leads playing something other than what is stereotypically played. While I have seen a strong African American family on television (The Cosby Show), I don't think I have ever seen an African American family portrayed as strongly on film. I know that is a strong statement but none come to mind. The problems of this family could have been the problems of any family regardless of their ethnicity and that, for me, was refreshingly rare. It was great seeing Michael Warren and Joyce Guy as the parents and seeing the family dynamic between them and their son and daughter portrayed so honestly. Best thing in the movie: Michael Warren.
Damian McKnight Anderson's Cross is a more than it appears.From what I understand, this movie was made by Jerome E. Scott whom, as a student of classic film-making, believed in doing it the old- fashioned way. Along with his friends and advisors, he pooled his financial resources, delayed enjoying some of life's pleasures for several years, and crafted a film (critics said could not be done without studio backing)into an extraordinary dream come true.Hard work and determination paid off and it shows. There are no flashy special effects, sci-fi shots, gross nudity, or cheap gimmicks. Just raw story.Films like this are virtually impossible to make these days. This is what film-making is all about folks!
rennat007 I happened to catch the premiere of this movie at the IBFF in Atlanta, GA a few months ago and I was so glad that I decided to go see it. It is a wonderful story portrayed by some great talent. There are many faces I recognized from TV and Films. The story lines of these people living their lives in this small town were so moving. It was very refreshing to see a movie that touched on so many different topics that are sometimes passed over or not talked about in society today. The people in the movie reflect all of our real neighbors and friends. You never know how people really live. This movie portrays love of all kinds, loss, friendship, family, people troubled by substance abuse problems and lonely marriages, and children learning the lessons of life, finding themselves, and growing up. It is truly remarkable to see these things told in such a beautiful and truthful way. A MUST SEE! When will the DVD be out???
Mary Cherry I caught a bootleg trailer for this film and I absolutely cannot wait to see it! A deeply moving story about a group of friends who have experienced the trials and tribulations of growing up together, thinking they know everything there is to know about each other . . . only to discover that's not the case. The film centers around Nick Anderson as he and his friends reluctantly enter adulthood all the while experiencing the breakups and breakdowns that life throws at them.The talented cast includes familiar seasoned actors as well as tomorrow's hot new stars. Jerome E. Scott . . . writer, actor and director . . . has truly captured the essence of growing up in suburbia. Everyone will be talking about this film . . . don't miss it!
