Having several years experience in event planning, we decided to pool our resources and start organizing on our own events with the central goal in mind of helping out children's charities. They are, after all, the future of this planet and more precious than any resource this world can produce.

Each event we host, will benefit in part or wholly, a different organization that works towards the betterment of children's health or home situations. In the process, it is also our goal, to make these events a fun and unique experience for the people who attend.

Your CUT! 2008 Event Hosts:

Linda Judd: Linda holds degrees in Theatre Arts and Administration of Justice and has a love for all things film and theatre. She has been active in event planning and marketing for over 20 years, a well as, managing her own marketing/design firm, ivyWEB, for the past 14 years.

Teresa Spreckelmeyer: Teresa brings to the team several years of event planning, promotion and web design experience, as well as, the management of a multi-national grass roots promotion team.

Both ladies, have a deep interest in helping children's organizations specifically, because of their own personal experiences with family members who at one time or another, were given vital aid and care.

CUT!

The idea began simply from our desire to create a new event, after our three year "sabbatical" from event planning, following the Jacks or Better, Celebrity Poker Tournament in 2005. Many ideas were tossed around, but after a discussion about how certain genre's of movies are treated as second-class citizens in Hollywood, the idea for CUT! began to take shape. We wanted to devote a weekend event specifically around movies and how they were made, with the minds behind the films there to tell the story.
