Storytelling is an art form as old as time. Even before we painted pictures on the walls of caves, we sat around the campfire and told stories. The ones who were able to captivate us with a little drama, pathos, comedy and insight, were the ones we relied on to keep our histories and explain our world. Filmmaking is an advanced form of storytelling where you take sight and sound, and project a world onto a screen that doesn’t exist anywhere else. The short film is a glimpse into that world and not the entire telling, but a mere slice of it.

CUT International Short Film Festival is destined to become the premier festival in New Jersey for short form films. Located in a colonial-era enclave established in the early part of the 18th century, the City of Millville hosts a proper main drag known as High Street. Featuring a beautifully restored theater, bars, restaurants, coffee shops, bookstores, art galleries and barber shops, Millville harkens back to different time in the American experience.

CUT was founded to celebrate storytelling in the medium of motion pictures but limited to short stories. The short film, like the documentary, has become a great way for a larger group of people to tell their stories. Not reliant on huge budgets, or massive crews, a small group of talented creatives can craſt a tale of resonance and authenticity. Our goal is to celebrate those stories and give them a venue to shine.
