Founded in the wintery months between 2006 and 2007 (Archeologists will debate for generations on the exact date of conception), Two Cut Films was formed by filmmakers Van Lam & Jason Outenreath to supersede their previous film production company, Ritter Studios. Check out our IMDb filmography!
Van Lam
Although he won’t admit it, Van made his first film in an eighth grade technology and media class, oddly titled named “Tech/Media”. The topics were split into two semesters, and being a computer nerd, Van had taken the course for the technology oriented curriculum. After spending a semester building lego robots and balsa wood bridges, Van made his first foray into filmmaking with three short films: Dental Fross, Merlin’s Redemption, and One Treasure, Two Takers. Suffice to say, he is certain that he owns the only surviving copies of them.
Van's latest film was Student of Virginity, a screwball comedy about a sex obsessed virgin who accidently takes a vow of chastity. He studies Film/Digital Media Production and Modern Literature at the University of California-Santa Cruz when not obsessing over the W3C markup validation for this site.
Van can be found at his personal website/blog VanLam.com, and contacted through his email .
Jason Outenreath
Jason Outenreath co-wrote and co-directed Backspin in 2006, as well as the award winning Jean's Postmodern Masterpiece in 2007. He went on to direct Sinema Provocateur and Dream On in 2008. Jason has also served as the cinematographer on a number of projects, including Cloud Formation (a senior honors project), Flatbed Longing (a senior thesis project), and The Last Ache.
Jason is also an avid musician, playing the violin and piano. When not trotting the globe, he attends Oberlin College in Ohio.
Jason's photography can be found at his gallery at deviantART:slight-of-eye and you can watch his demo reel at his personal site. You can contact him via email .
