Crossed Films.TV

I've been uploading alot more pictures onto the site and updating different parts of the the Pictures section. I also got my Nikon digital camera back today, so expect to see alot of new pictures instead of the same old ones.

I thought I'd take some time to talk about our stickers, as they're an important part of Crossed Films. The sticker idea was mentioned to me from a friend who was in a band. We were about talking my site and merchandise, when he mentioned StickerJunkie.com. So later that day I checked It out. They made custom stickers dirt cheap. I put in my first order for 200 stickers at close to .25 a sticker.

Hard Rock Cafe

I started out putting them on any sign I could find. I'd give them to friends, and they would plaster them all over school. They would soon run out, and I'd have to order more. Between then and now, I've ordered close to 2000 stickers, and I have less than 100 left now. I started making it a point to keep a handful of stickers in my pocket at all times, whether I was just walking into town or going on a field trip to Boston. During one field trip, we handed out a bunch of stickers to another visiting school. They're teacher had a firm talk with me, and took every single sticker we handed out. Once we started filming events and concerts, we'd bring a stack to hand out to fans.

Nowadays, young strangers will stop me on the street and ask if I have any spare stickers on me. I usually did. I think people were surprised to how gracious I was when giving out stickers. Someone would ask for one, and I'd give them fifteen. I simply had too many stickers to know what to do with. It's also resulted in a few 'sticker fights' with friends. I don't understand why some people look at the stickers, and feel that they have to tear them down. That's when I started putting them in visible hard-to-reach places.

Getting down is the hard part

That way no one would dare take it down. I would sometimes go to extreme lengths to put a sticker where I wanted one. People would then be more curious to how the devil the sticker got there than what the sticker was actually promoting. I knew my exceptional climbing skills would come in handy some day. I also have a giant bag full of Crossed Films pins, but those are a little harder to get rid of.

This sticker stayed up at Mcdonalds for a few months before being taken down.

Fun Useless Facts

Anyone that used to read our old forum (aka no one) will remember our Fun Useless Facts, pointless trivial secrets about our movies. I thought I'd try to resurrect them.

Stereo From Hell

Right when Will says "Hey, cool toaster" you can briefly see a Crossed Films sticker on the TV behind him.

Bury Me In The Snow

This was originally going to be an Uncrossed episode.

My hand was bleeding cuz I cut it on broken glass. Alot of broken glass.

When I snowboarded out the window was the first time I stepped on a snowboad in 2 years.

The song we used is "The Plot to Bomb the Panhandle" by A Day to Remember.

No More Yogurt
We only had 4 yogurt containers for this movie. We had to take those four and make it appear like there was dozens strewn everywhere.

Car Doors

I had the car door idea for a while. One day I went for it and backed out. The next weekend I had no other ideas to film, so I said screw it and just did it.

Extreme Hackysack
We burned 3 hackysacks in this movie, yes 3.

SD3: The Sperm Supremacy
Other titles we considered were The White Knight, The Pink Knight, and The Incredible Bulge.

The Tea Party
We made this movie while I was kicked out of my house and homeless. So I filmed it at a friends house.

Winfreid was chosen for the bear's name only minutes beforehand because someone named Winfreid added our myspace as a friend while we were making the movie.

Freedom of Speech

I was reading off wikipedia when i pierced my lip.

Billy Stone
I wrote the script for this movie for an English project. Jeff and I filmed the movie after school everyday and then showed it to the class in our high school's auditorium. We got an A, but that didn't stop me from failing the class for the year.

I got the idea for Billy Stone while working at a video store. There was a big section of inspiring sport movies, and I thought it would be funny to spoof.

We filmed all the bike stuff in two different sandpits.

The snake in the movie was my harmless pet. His name is Gir.

Hell on Wheels

All the spark plates were given to us for free from the Tail Devils company. They gave us maybe 20, as long as we promised to make a sweet flick with them.

Sunshine Bear

Ok, i'm aware that the care bear is actually Love-a-Lot bear. We just wanted to use the name that sounded best. It was actually supposed to be called Funshine Bear, but I kept messing it up. If you listen close I say Funshine instead of Sunshine a few times.

SuperDick 2

If you look closely when Captain Condom is hit by the car, you can see that the Sperminator is driving it.

In once scene when the sperminator is talking, you can see a cereal box of Poop Flakes. That's a reference to one of our older movies

Uncrossed: Episode 1
Episode 1 is basically just all the footage I took off my camera during the period of a month where my mom was "out of town". It's not that we partied everyday. We just had a million people over every day and a million stories.

The riding on top of the car footage was filmed in the same sandpit as Billy Stone.

Uncrossed: Episode 2
Filming this abruptly ended when the principal yelled at us and tried to take away my video camera. I responded with a "fuck you" and my middle finger.

Jeff got way more hugs than shown in the movie. I could only film the ones in the classes we had together though.

Uncrossed: Episode 3
The TV we smashed was one I had forever. It stopped working one day. It can be seen in The Good Times and Sunshine Bear.

The real name of the place we went to is The Bethlehem Dam, or so I'm told.

Uncrossed: Episode 4
I didn't film any of the band footage in this. I left my camera in Joe's barn for a few days and they used it a couple times.

Uncrossed: Episode 5

The tiki torch fight was filmed in the same place as The Tea Party, only a month or two prior when there was still snow on the ground.

And i'll update this later.

Earlier this December I started an internship at the Mountain View Grand filming different parts of their hotel for their website. This wedding is the first video i've completed for them. This is just part of the whole video. The full thing is a half hour long.
