Over 50 short student films were submitted to the C.U.F.F. festival this past month. They came in the form of narratives and documentaries, comedies and dramas and animations. In an interview with Philmalot, C.U.F.F. founder, Craig Strimel said, he was astounded by the level of quality each of the student films possessed.
