Eli Cross is an adult filmmaker who began his career making short films in Arizona, and eventually, after moving to Los Angeles in 1993, worked as a director at Roger Corman’s Concorde Studios. Cross directed four straight-to-video films for Corman, but eventually transitioned into the adult market.
Under the name Mark Logan, Cross ran Adult Video News – the premiere trade magazine for the porn industry – from 1997-2001. After parting ways with AVN, Cross returned to directing, but as a pornographer.
He is best known for his films The Visitor (2003) from Elegant Angel, Epiphany (2004) from VCA Xplicit, and Corruption (2006) from SexZ Pictures, which won 7 AVN Awards including Best Video.
In 2007, Cross became Head of Production for SexZ Pictures, and completed Upload, one of the most expensive adult features in history with a budget of over $360,000. In November of 2007, Upload received 22 AVN Awards nominations, including a Best Director - Video nomination for Cross.
His stage name comes from the character played by Peter O'Toole in the 1980 film The Stunt Man.
