Crossed Earth

A small team of film makers with little experience and lots of ambition bound themselves to the idea of generating a completely independent horror film. No budget, no professionals. Just drive. The final product: Crossed Earth, a short film shot all over Southern Wisconsin with Wisconsinites as the cast and crew.

Crossed Earth is an old mining town in Southern Wisconsin. The story begins in 1835 on a snow covered hillside in Crossed Earth. Two German trappers discover a morbid scene. 170 years later Maban Petrok is on a quest to clear his family name of this morbidity. But as he digs deeper in to the tragic history he unleashes something that might be much, much worse.

This movie contains strong language.
