Eli Cross is a pornographic movie director, producer, and actor.
Under the name of Mark Logan, Cross was managing editor of AVN.[1]
Unlike many adult industry professionals, Cross does not keep his birth name a secret. He has won awards, and keeps a blog, under his own name.[2]
He is best known for his films The Visitor[3] (2003) from Elegant Angel, Epiphany[4] (2004) from VCA Xplicit, Corruption[5] (2006), Upload[6] (2007), & Icon[7] (2008) from SexZ Pictures, and The 8th Day,[8] which Cross produced for Adam & Eve Pictures.
Cross' biggest films have received significant acclaim in the adult industry. Corruption won 7 AVN Awards including Best Video, with Cross receiving Best Director - Video.[9] Upload received 22 AVN Awards nominations, including a Best Director - Video nomination for Cross, and another win for Best Video.[10] Both movies also received similar nominations and awards from XRCO,[11][12] XBiz,[13] Adam Film World Guide,[14][15] and Nightmoves magazine.[16][17]
Icon received the AVN Award for Best High-End All-Sex Video in 2009, with Cross winning Best Director - All-Sex.[18] In 2010, the Cross-produced The 8th Day won 7 AVN Awards including Best Video.[19]
In 2007, following the success of Corruption, Cross became Head of Production for SexZ Pictures. However, a dispute between Cross and SexZ over his work on The 8th Day created stress between Cross and Bo Kenney, the owner of SexZ.[20] Press releases were issued stating that the two parties had resolved their differences, but in 2009, as Cross was in pre-production on a film called Daughter of the Wolf, SexZ abruptly released him from his contract.[21] SexZ Pictures stopped producing videos soon after.[22]
Cross is currently producing and directing adult features for French magazine Hot Vidéo, the most recent being the comedy Kiss of the Strangler.[23]
He has also begun working frequently with adult director Axel Braun as a screenwriter, producer, and camera operator. He recently filled all three of these positions on Braun's parody of Star Wars: A New Hope, Star Wars XXX: A Porn Parody.
His stage name comes from the character played by Peter O'Toole in the 1980 film The Stunt Man.
