YoungCuts Festival Partners

Part of our mission at the YoungCuts Film Festival is to promote emerging talent. Filmmakers submitting to YoungCuts receive feedback when and where appropriate; and, we present their short films to our film industry partners, including producers, distributors and programmers.  This promotion has resulted in filmmakers' films being presented on TV, licensed for outdoor festivals and programmed by other film festivals who recognize YoungCuts' expertise in sourcing and identifying the world's best emerging filmmakers.

The film festivals featured below are among the 30 International Film Festivals that have special access to the YoungCuts web-site. Festival executives use this professional-level access to evaluate films, in real time, for their own festivals.

If you are a film festival, programmer, producer or distributor who would like to have professional-level access to the YoungCuts Film Festival short film library, please contact the YoungCuts Assistant Festival Director Max Bianchi at Max@YoungCuts.com or call (514) 285-4591

Professional-level access also includes access to films that are otherwise only available to YoungCuts judges. If you find films that you would like to program, purchase, license or distribute, we will facilitate that for you. 

YoungCuts can also create custom collections of our filmmakers' films.  Contact us to cost out these services.

We can easily create custom galleries and can sort films by subject or filmmaker age.  Here are a few examples: films featuring food; films with mental health themes; films with an environmental theme; films with a spiritual theme; LGBT films; films about local cultures; films by filmmakers 19-21 years old; films by filmmakers 16-18 years old; films by filmmakers 15 and under.
