Cutter Entertainment has announced the addition of director Severine Reisp to its esteemed roster of talent for U.S. representation across commercials and branded content. This collaboration marks Reisp’s inaugural venture into production company representation as a director.
With a decade of experience under her belt, Reisp brings a wealth of expertise to her new role. Previously serving as a creative producer and director at auction house Christie’s, she directed captivating spots for renowned brands in the luxury sphere such as Nike, Cartier, and Rolex, as well as notable figures like Richard Gere and Diane von Fuerstenberg. Her adeptness in crafting compelling narratives across diverse media platforms has earned her three Telly awards, showcasing her versatility and talent.
Reisp’s approach to film direction is likened to choreographing a dance, seamlessly blending storytelling and visuals to create immersive experiences. Notably, her 17-minute short film Deceive explores the journey of an abuse survivor using dance as a powerful medium for healing and liberation.
The film has garnered acclaim, including an honorable mention for the Audience Choice Award at the 2022 Yonkers Film Festival and nominations for Best Dance Film, Best Cinematography, and Actress at the Paris Art and Movie Awards in 2021.
Hillary Cutter, founder, and executive producer of Cutter Entertainment, expressed enthusiasm about Reisp joining the roster, emphasizing her ability to innovate within the luxury space. “ What excites me most about Severine joining our roster is her proven track record of innovating within the luxury space, bringing stories to life in a way that not only showcases the glamor and sophistication of high-end brands but also adds depth and emotion to their narratives. Her approach to filmmaking – meticulous attention to detail, a keen eye for beauty, and unwavering commitment to storytelling – perfectly aligns with our mission to produce content that captivates and inspires. Severine’s addition to our team is not just a testament to our growth and commitment to excellence but also a bold step forward in our continuous pursuit of crafting impactful, visually stunning content.”

“I’m honored to become a part of Cutter Entertainment, a company dedicated to empowering female voices. Over the past few years, I’ve had the privilege to refine my distinct style and directorial voice. I was fortunate to direct many videos in the luxury space, from the most sought-after jewels to high-end sneakers and bags, and fashion. By no means confined to a genre, I like to bring aesthetic precision and mesmerizing visuals to each project. I’m eager to join the ranks of Cutter directors, where I can continue to innovate, push creative boundaries, and craft compelling and inspiring content, while amplifying the voices of women in the industry.”
Reisp’s artistic journey began with a dedicated pursuit of dance, eventually leading her to explore the world of filmmaking. She accepted a presidential scholarship to attend Sarah Lawrence College and later earned her M.F.A. in Film from the City College of New York. Reisp originally connected with Cutter Entertainment through its mentorship program in 2018 and returned as a mentor for its flagship event in 2023.
