A Must See!

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!

Bad After School Special!

like i have said before , i give the guy props for getting the film made , but he should of checked his EGO at the door when casting. He is so bad i almost thought his acting was some sort of punchline in the movie , till after a few minutes and i realized , he cannot act! One facial expression in every scene , two tone's of voice one for sad and one for everything else! The photography is not great , not even good , it is bad! There is one scene where it is supposed to be night time and there is a shadow on the floor from the sun coming through the window! He needs to do less acting and maybe take some film classes and learn how to be a director , before , just doing it! If he did take some classes he would learn to control all light when filming by blocking out the windows! Man , that is basic stuff!

Excellent

The story is poignant, funny and unbearably sad. I liked it. I really liked it. Nick Anderson is confused about more than his sexuality, far more. There are times of joy and times of sadness. It contains lots of humor and comedic elements that make you smile and laugh through-out the film. The coming of age well is explored here by examining the fates and troubles of a handful of individuals and their interaction with one another. The theme of acceptance runs through the whole movie. If you are cynical, this is not for you. If you like to laugh and cry and all that good stuff you'll love this movie. It is well written, directed, and acted, especially by Michael Warren and Joyce Guy. Not what I had expected, and I was not disappointed. This was a very, very pleasant surprise.

This film proves that dreams do come true with vision and hard work

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!

Refreshingly Sweet

I thought this movie was quite sweet. It has some sad parts to it but mostly it is an uplifting coming of age story which I think is needed to support the much appreciated "It gets better" message. I thought the parents reminded me of the parents in Call Me By Your Name but this movie was made almost ten years ago! The four teens coming of age are all good and the obvious chemistry between them gives the film a natural feel. Save for one crying scene (that was well done) I didn't feel there was any "acting" going on. The parents are a cast of veteran actors and they are all excellent. The racial diversity is appreciated (Who'd have thunk?). It's almost jarring which sadly says a lot about the long road movies still have to go. I liked this film.

Trivia
At the Bridgetown Film Festival in Barbados the Anderson's Cross filmmakers were sat near the exit with guards during their screening. Festival organizers were concerned about the possible reaction of the audience, due to some of the gay elements in the film. They needn't have worried, the audience cheered when the gay characters kissed and the film went on to win 'Best International Feature' at the festival.

Quotes
Mrs. Green: I don't want her hanging around that Daniels boy, violence is hereditary.
Mr. Anderson: Agnes she's gonna see that boy with or without your blessing so you may as well give it, so she can stop sneaking around having sex at my house.
