Cutting Class Media

Toronto-based Cutting Class Media has debuted its distribution slate with 10 new and previously announced titles.

The media company, led by Joshua Bowen and Carly Sacks, is shopping its slate of animated and live-action projects at local and global markets such as Realscreen, NATPE and Prime Time.

The animated titles include the 10 x 12-minute series peopleWatching, the comedy feature Matters Beyond, the Lakeside Animation 10 x 10-minute children’s series Beastly Crimes, the adult action-comedy series Not Safe for Work and the 6 x 5-minute children’s series Oh and Go.

Also on the animation slate is a feature film coproduction between Russia’s MetraFilms and Lakeside Animation, Tied Up. It is directed by Oscar-nominated Russian animator Konstantin Bronzit and Dmitriy Vysotskiy. The film follows everyday items that have been discarded as trash that decide to seek paradise.

Rounding out Cutting Class’ animation slate is Lakeside Animation’s 10 x 5-minute The Dollop Animated Series, based on The Dollop podcast, and the 6 x 15 to 22-minute horror anthology Red Iron Road.

In its live-action slate, Cutting Class has two documentaries: The CBC-commissioned feature What We Carry and the medium-length Cutting Class original Continue Playing?, which follows a once professional gamer who overcomes homelessness and depression to become an ultra-endurance athlete.

According to the release from Cutting Class, additional details and titles are to be revealed later in the year.
