The focus is on auteur filmmakers who realize their films independently or with small crews, from concept to camera, direction and editing, according to a cut-up announcement on Friday. The resulting works are not mass-produced, but bear a personal signature. The films are primarily conceived for the Internet.
Cut-Up produces formats such as image films, social media campaigns, case movies, trailers, making-ofs and commercials. Cut-Up was founded by Andrea Sponring and Moritz Schneider. Andrea Sponring has been working in the field of casting and styling in advertising for 13 years and runs the model agency Streetcasting.ch. Moritz Schneider studied journalism and economics. He has worked for advertising agencies and advertising film production companies and has also been involved in various Swiss film festivals for many years.
National and international filmmakers
Cut-Up presents Cyrill Oberholzer, Gregor Brändli, Luc Gut, Fässler & Horst, Niels Epting and Jordan Alport. The filmmakers have already completed commissions for well-known brands such as Apple, Zürich Insurance Groupe, Skype, Dior, S. Oliver, Interio and Kunsthaus Zürich. Their portfolios can be found at Cut-up.ch to find.
