Anderson's Cross Trailers

Nick Anderson, Kevin Daniels, and Tracey Green do everything together. They are the best of friends, and yet they couldn't be more different. Neighbors from adolescence, they finish each other's thoughts and sentences, joys and pains, happiness and tears. Using Nick's house as their own members only clubhouse, they escape into their own world of contentment. Yet the inevitable intrusion of others tests their stability in ways never imagined.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

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.

I have to agree with "gotcha74" about this film. There are so many problems on both the creative and technical sides.Jerome Elston Scott must really think highly of himself to think that he can pass himself off as a teenager. Putting on a big wig does not make an obviously middle age man look 17. (By the way, they should fire the hair person on this production because his hair changes in every other shot, although continuity is the least of this film's problems.)Ego is exactly the correct word! Not only does a middle age man cast himself as a high-schooler, but he writes a script in which he has the whole town - practically - wanting to sleep with him? Did anybody buy that? This film needs to cut out about 30 minutes, it's too long. There are way too many unnecessary scenes that does not enhance the story. First rule of filmmaking: If it doesn't add to the story, you don't need it.Movies showing teenagers having sex is not edgy anymore, yet the filmmaker wants to beat you over the head with it. The only sex scene that was actually shown was horribly acted. There was no chemistry between the Kevin and Tracy character. It seems as if it was his first time and she looked really bored, yet they are supposed to be in love? As much as I support independent film making, I cannot recommend this film.

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!

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!
