The Official Final Deadline of the YoungCuts Film Festival was June 15th.
We are in the process of finalizing our Top 100. There is still an opportunity for films that we haven't received yet to trickle in after the deadline, we thought that we would begin announcing some of the films that we know will be included in our Top 100.
These won't be announced in any kind of order and they should not be interpreted as any kind of ranking, just that we have all the material for this particular film and that we do consider it one of the Top 100 short films by filmmakers 25 and under that we have seen (and will see) out of more than a thousand films that we have screened from more than 30 countries.
This week, we will be announcing some of our favourite Teen films leading to the announcement of all the films that will play in our Teen screening.
Announced so far as Best Teen films:
Francesca Abbondanza-Bergeron's Switching Worlds

Send Me To Babylon

| Jeremiah James |
Directed and Written by Jeremiah James
Send Me To Babylon is a compact little story in the Oh Henry tradition dressed in the bloody rags of a post-apocalypse Zombie story.
Done with economy and minimal but real effects, the film is a great example of what Teen filmmakers can accomplish especially when they limit their canvas.
