Now on its 21st season, KCET's series Fine Cut showcases short films made by talented student filmmakers from Southern California. Chosen from more than 400 submissions, this year's edition of Fine Cut offers a glimpse of tomorrow's most promising filmmakers with 19 short films in documentary, animation, and narrative genres handpicked by an esteemed panel of judges from the industry. Watch the films in a series of four hour-long broadcast episodes.

Faith Alone, a 12-minute film crafted by FEA students and supported by scholarship funding from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), is one of the documentaries selected for the Fine Cut Festival of Films. The film offers a critical examination of the church as an institution, told through the dual perspectives of the queer director and their mother, an unconventional minister. Faith Alone was made by recent alums: Jess Kung (director), Taylor Vracin-Harrell (producer), Tricia Baumgartner (editor and sound recordist), and Isaura Aceves (cinematographer and co-editor). Also included in Fine Cut are student films from USC, UCLA, Chapman, Cal Arts, and LMU. Faith Alone is set to screen on October 7^th at 10pm live on KCET and on KCET's website included in Season 21, Episode 2 The Outsider.
