Director Biography - Tony Cross

From the moment I picked up a VHS camera when I was 7, I wanted to make movies. I'm now 27, and since then I've written a couple of feature film scripts, made a few short films, commercials, and one music video. My passion for the filmmaking craft still burns strong today.

Director Statement

"The King's Eye is a short dramatic film of a man overcoming his grief of losing someone he loves. As he goes on a scavenger hunt called "The King's Eye," he reminisces the memories he shared, cherishing those moments, while looking ahead to a brighter future. It's a story told mostly through visuals, using very minimal dialogue and only when it's needed."
