Cutter Hodierne

Director, producer, editor and writer

2 Sundance awards

Just before Cutter Hodierne was born, his parents sold everything they owned, quit their jobs, and bought a 32 foot cutter-rigged sailboat, for which he is named. Accordingly, Hodierne spent the first three years of his life sailing in the South Pacific Ocean. At age 22, he toured the world with U2 on the biggest rock tour in music history, serving as their 'filmmaker on the road', shooting online content, and directing and editing pieces for 'U2: 360°at the Rose Bowl'. At age 24, Hodierne took his earnings from touring and traveled to East Africa to direct Fishing Without Nets. The short film won the Grand Jury Prize in Short Filmmaking at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. In January 2014, Hodierne won the Directing Award for drama at the Sundance Film Festival.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
