Cruising In The Van Productions is a film production company that has achieved quite a bit in a very short amount of time. Their films have shown on big screens and in festivals domestically and internationally, been broadcast on television, streamed on the internet and won awards. Writer/director Eric Green and producer Matthew Nerney grew up in the Boston suburb of Bedford, MA. After going to high school together and working at their local video store together, they began producing their cinematic visions in 2000.

Their first film was the 2001 off-beat comedy To Be John Woo, which was shot on 16mm film and cast SAG and non-union actors. After garnering good reviews and a diverse series of screenings at film festivals, CITV followed up their success with the 2004 short character study Musician For Hire. This short film, shot on mini-DV, had a very healthy run of film festivals and won the award for Best Music Video (for the music video sequence) at the Myrtle Beach International Film Festival. Over the years CITV has also been involved in the production of various independent film projects and web video content. Life on the V: The Story of V66 marks their most ambitious production yet!
