About us

The founders of CUT-UP’s Film Festival Strategy Tool, Moritz Schneider and Andrea Sponring, met back in 2008. They quickly recognized their shared passion for film. This quickly evolved into distribution & sales for shorts. When consulting fellow filmmakers about their films’ festival run, Moritz & Andrea clearly saw the need for a new approach in festival distribution, that should allow exchange of first hand information and experience when submitting films to festivals: a Film Festival Strategy Tool.
