Nolan Cross
The Director, Writer, and Creator
The nineteen year old writer of Zeep and all the Kingdom contains, Nolan Cross takes his inspiration from the widest variety of stories, most prominently ‘The Lord of the Rings’, ‘Twin Peaks’, and the filmmakers Lars von Trier, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Stanley Kubrick, and David Lynch. Video games, epic literature, and the real world are all in addition fundamental to the development of Zeep as a modern-medieval, genre-blending, operatic fable of duality. Nolan’s ultimate goal is to be a filmmaker, and bring his ideas to life in a movie trilogy, or limited series. He first grew up in Toronto, where he imagined fantastical stories with his oldest friend and grandmother figure, Vicki. After moving to Revelstoke B.C., Nolan worked closely with artist Benji Andringa to bring the World of Zeep to life in a graphic novel. After developing the first volume and screening the ‘animatic’ of it at the local cinema, our ambitious project has continued to evolve. Nolan continues catching ideas for an experimental film project called ‘MAWVERING’, and in his spare time enjoys walking his dogs, playing Skyrim, and practicing archery.
