Karrion Kross is getting into filmmaking.
WWE's Karrion Kross has already ventured into acting, as he previously landed a role in an action movie. Now, he is learning about filmmaking process, as he has produced a short film.
Speaking on Geeking Out with Matt Serra, Karrion Kross provided an update on his short film.
“I just produced my first short film in Los Angeles. That’ll be coming out this year. I was planning on having it out last year, but I’m learning, because it’s my first time, how long post-production takes. You have to color-treat things, you have to sound-mix it, the editing process can take a long time. So once the film’s ready, I’m gonna send it into the independent film festival awards and see how it does. I produced it, I took a supporting role in it. My buddy who wrote the script initially was talking to me about maybe potentially doing the lead, but without blowing the whole plot, the lead character is homeless. So bring 6’3 and 250 pounds, it’d look weird. I also didn’t want it to come off like a vanity project either. Because a lot of guys that are trying to push their way into Hollywood that don’t really have any acting chops, they’ll do that. They’ll produce their own stuff and make themselves the lead. It’s repulsive to the real acting community," Kross said.
Kross was then about WWE giving him the freedom to do other projects. He stated that he submitted the script to the company, and he talked to Triple H and Nick Khan because they wanted to make sure the it didn't have anything inflammatory in it.
“I submitted the script to the company. I talked to Paul [Levesque] and Nick [Khan] about it, and they gave me no hassle whatsoever. They gave me a green light, they said, ‘Go do it.’ That just wanted to make sure there was nothing inflammatory and strange in the script, and there wasn’t, nothing that would be controversial or blow up in their face or something like that," Kross said.
Kross later said that the movie should be ready in about two weeks, as he just needed to attach the credits to it. He stated that the movie was pretty much done.
