Every year, Kcet hosts its annual Fine Cut Festival of Films, a celebration of shorts and short filmmakers. In 2017, the Southern California public television station received over 3,000 global submissions from around the globe. Now, that number is down to 48 shorts that will be part of the “Fine Cut” broadcasts, beginning Wednesday night at 9 p.m. Pt on Kcet in Southern California and LinkTV across the country.
One of the film’s featured as part of this year’s program is “Hum,” which follows the story of a kitchen-cleaning robot who dreams of life beyond the walls of a grimy workspace. It’s a dialogue-free tale of technology, nature and hope. The “Hum” creative team was headed up by director Tom Teller, who is currently a student at Chapman University’s Dodge College of Film and Media Arts.
