    Cut to Red

    You know Christopher Bickel from The Theta Girl, Bad Girls, and Pater Noster and the Mission of Light. All screened at CineUnderground Festival. All unmistakably Bickel: one frame from his films, and you know it’s his. That’s rare in independent cinema.

    Now he’s making CUT TO RED. A film about his biggest passion after music: Z-grade exploitation cinema.

    A man obsessed with his favorite B-movie actress.
    A woman cursed to look exactly like her.

    We don’t know much more about the plot.
    But we know Chris. And that’s enough.

    Expect genre clichés torn apart and reassembled into something feverish, strange, and unforgettable.

    The crowdfunding is live right now on cuttored.com

    We don’t just screen your films at CineUnderground Festival and forget you. We back what comes next. Once CineUnderground, forever CineUnderground.

    Dead Format

    We met Mike Lombardo at CineUnderground Festival 2022 thanks to the grassroots horror documentary THE BRILLIANT TERROR.
    Now he’s making DEAD FORMAT. And we’re backing him.

    A VHS tape contains demons. Play it, and they’ll crawl through the screen into reality. Analog horror. Body horror. Heartbreak.

    No studio backing. No safety net. Just Mike, a vision, and people who believe. Crowdfunding is live now on Indiegogo. The production has started, but every dollar helps make this real!ou didn’t: trust the CUG family on this one. Based on his short story from “Please Don’t Tap on the Glass.”
