The Xrossing

Great movie. Loved seeing parts of Swan View in it, actors did an amazing job and it had me on my seat intrigued to find out how it would all pan out. I am wondering how we can see it again or have our friends watch it that missed it?

I'm still processing this outstanding film... I literally walked out of the theatre speechless... in a good way! Beautifully shot showcasing our stunning corner of the world, The Xrossing certainly lived up to all the hype. The acting, production and script were absolutely flawless, not at all reflective of its limited production budget. Though very confronting at times, the beauty of the cinematography coupled with the acting and the script, resulted in a very thought provoking film with an important message.

An incredible achievement for all of those involved in producing this superb film. Highly recommend!

Watched this film as part of the Saint Louis Film festival, and I was happily surprised by the scenography and the story line. It was an easy film to follow and very entertaining. All the characters come together great, great actors. Highly recommend this film to everybody.

Directed by Steven J. Mihaljevich, The Xrossing is a compelling, moving and uniquely Western Australian film.

Opening with hazy, suburban scenery and the sweeping bushland of Swan View, the scene reveals the brooding murder of a young girl, Tracey Myers. Surrounded in mystery, her death begins to unravel loose ends. Without revealing too much, the ensuing chaos and multiple story arcs climaxing together will have you on the edge of your seat.

For those who have the pleasure of experiencing this film in all its glory, it's none other than a beautiful reminder of how human connection remains a central driving force, no matter the story.

The Xrossing in Review

I had the privilege of seeing The Xrossing twice and on both occasions I was deeply moved by both the thought provoking story and the outstanding performances of the cast. This is a significant film for our times and I believe will be well received internationally.

The opening scenes introduce the audience to a landscape familiar to Perth residents, revealing the unique beauty of the eastern metropolitan bushland and historical landmarks . Nestled within the story begins. A murder of a young girl has the community talking and reactive opinions are quickly being formed. Meeting the three young characters, you are quickly drawn into their situation as they process what has happened to their friend and how they deal with this new reality.

But there is so much more to this film. This story will take you back to when our youthful personas emerged to meet life's journey and remember how with only a pocket full of experience, we navigated our Xrossings with the people and circumstances that awaited us.

This is a must see film so make sure you experience The Xrossing for yourself.
