Crossflix is founded by Alan Mehrez and co-founded by his wife and business partner Aileen Rodriguez.

Mr. Mehrez also directed projects including BLOODSPORT 2, BLOODSPORT 3, and SINBAD AND THE BATTLE OF THE DARK KNIGHTS. Mehrez’s catalog of films has been released by Lionsgate, Warner Brothers, HBO, Showtime, and other studios. In addition, Mehrez and Rodriguez have worked as International Film Distributors licensing film rights all over the world.
Crossflix has just wrapped production of their original series “The Living Bible” which consists of 50 half-hour episodes. Nine episodes are included in today’s launch and the balance will be released two episodes at a time over a twenty-week period. Along with “The Living Bible” series, Crossflix is in different stages of production on ten additional television shows, releasing over the coming year.
In addition to original content, Crossflix has acquired top entertainment properties, including “REVIVE US” featuring faith-audience superstar Kirk Cameron (FIREPROOF, COURAGEOUS) and the Cedarmont Kids series (Sony) which has sold over 22 million DVDs. For both titles, Crossflix is the exclusive digital debut. Hundreds of additional titles have been acquired, including content from major distributors such as Vision Video, Bridgestone Multimedia Group and Green Apple Entertainment.
Green Apple Entertainment has initially licensed 16 titles on the Crossflix platform, including LIKE A COUNTRY SONG (Billy Ray Cyrus, Joel Smallbone), $5M budget WAR FLOWERS (Christina Ricci, Tom Berenger), TV-movie ON ANGEL’S WINGS (Robin Givens, Reginald Vel Johnson, Bill Cobbs), A DOG FOR CHRISTMAS (Richard Karn, Dean Cain) and THE WAY HOME (Dean Cain).
