The Producer of the new generation of Visual Storytelling
Company
Crizlassic Productions, LLC
In 2003, Cris Thorne created Crizlassic Productions to produce student films and comedic video sketches. After graduating from Howard University with a BA Degree in Film Production in 2010, Cris moved back to his home town of South Orange, NJ to continue producing with a focus on online content.
In 2012, Crizlassic Productions released its first feature-length documentary, De-leveling the System, and in 2013 the company debuted its original web series, Common Threads. In 2016, Crizlassic Productions launched CrizlassicTV with 3 original web series (In Our Backyard, Looking Through the Windows and The Same Coin). Those 3 web series went on to be selected in a combined 17 official festival selections!
In 2018 a new series was launched- Dependence. This has become CrizlassicTV’s most successful series, receiving 36 official festival selections and several awards!
Crizlassic Productions is committed to producing diverse content, using CrizlassicTV as a platform to evoke creative and progressive thought while keeping its viewers entertained.
