Bio

Christopher Cutri graduated from BYU in 1995 with a degree in humanities and a minor in film. Upon graduation, Cutri was accepted to the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, California. There he received an M.F.A. in film directing.

Cutri has been signed with several film production companies to direct commercials. His academic focus is on creative conception for advertising and the production of television commercials and documentaries. His documentaries explore various aspects of the sociology of sport, particularly the culture of surfing and other extreme sports. Cutri also directed his first feature film, “Wes and Ella,” where he had the opportunity to work with the talented actor Scoot McNairy. Cutri’s interests in photography and design have led him to investigate the possibilities of photobooks and zines as a form of documentary.
