How Director Luke Barnett Was Inspired to Create Viral Short Film ‘The Crossing Over Express’ After Receiving a Message From His Late Mother
Luke Barnett received a video message from his late mother and transformed the experience into the viral short film "The Crossing Over Express."
Barnett was right, as his short film inspired by this experience, “ The Crossing Over Express,” has received an outpouring of support and over a half million views in its first 72 hours since he posted it on X.
