Storyline

Short Cuts centres around nine media students who explore the various uses of a video camera. A camera can be a tool of expression, exploration and communication. But it can also be a tool of manipulation, secrecy and lies. The students find individual ways of using the camera; the only rules being, there are no rules, so expect the unexpected. Short Cuts won the 2002 ATOM Award (Australian Teachers of Media) for Best Children's TV Series, the 2002 AFI Award for Best Children's Drama series, and writer Marieke Hardy won an Australian Writer's Guild Award for Best Children's Screen and Radio (Original).

User Reviews

It's Excellent!

I absolutely love this show! I only discovered it this week because 7 put it on at 9.30am and next week its not even showing anymore! It's such a pity because this show has been completely underrated! It has an excellent cast and a great script.

Its better then most shows with huge budgets. Hopefully channel 7 will come to their senses and put this show on again because its such a waste

Plus I <3 Alex Cappelli!!

I give this show 9/10 its really good and if it comes back on I recommend it~!
