About Us

Here at CUT TO, our goals are – to explore and exhibit all the ways we evaluate films, to encourage others to rethink and analyze the media they consume, to allow insight into local filmmaking history in Lancaster, and to highlight filmmakers and lovers of film!

CUT TO was co-founded by Bruce Bennett, a senior lecturer at the Lancaster Institute of Contemporary Arts, and our central team of 5 members. Although we are associated with the university, we work separately and do not collaborate with any departments as we are completely student-led!

Within our total 20 members, there are four groups – the editorial and writing team, who receive, process, and polish submissions, the design team, the video essays team, and the interviews team. All of us communicate, and collaborate on one Issue per term, covering a specific theme decided unanimously. 

Each academic term, we publish an electronic catalogue of student-submitted works in our “Issues,” each with a different theme.
