CUT-UP was founded by Moritz Schneider and Andrea Sponring.
After several years producing films, they saw the need for an innovative and transparent approach to festival distribution.
In 2015 they started CUT-UP Festival Distribution and built the database and matching algorithm.
CUT-UP HUB was launched in 2018, offering festival distribution support to even more filmmakers.
