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.

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!

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???

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!
