Fifth Season’s Caroline Vanstorm Joins Joe Hipps’ A24-Based Company Cut To As Producer

Joe Hipps has hired Fifth Season‘s Caroline Vanstorm as a producer at his Cut To banner, which has a deal at A24.

Vanstorm joins two other former Fifth Season executives whom Hipps, former Head of TV for Fifth Season, recruited for Cut To earlier this year — Patrick McDonald and Katie Giarla.

The move for Vanstorm comes after she spent nearly six years at Fifth Season, most recently as VP in the TV group. During her tenure, she worked on the development of such series as Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2 for Hulu, The Savant for Apple TV and the upcoming His & Hers for Netflix.
Vanstrom also oversaw several of Fifth Season’s first-look and overall deals, including the pact with Oscar Isaac’s Mad Gene Entertainment.

Before joining Fifth Season (fka Endeavor Content) in 2019, Vanstorm worked at Fox Searchlight Pictures, first as assistant to Nancy Utley and later as a TV coordinator at the launch of Searchlight Television.

Hipps launched Cut To with a deal at A24 after he left Fifth Season last fall. A year later, two packages he took out with A24 this fall sparked big bidding wars, with Discretion, starring Nicole Kidman and Elle Fanning, going to Paramount+, and Trigger Point, headlined by Joe Edgerton, landing at Netflix — both with straight-to-series order.
