Cutting Loose is an American documentary film from James Lipscomb about five teenagers sailing from California to Singapore starting in 1971.[1]
Lipscomb had made Blue Water, White Death (1971) for Cinema Center Films which agreed to finance Cutting Loose for $700,000. The film was shot and edited over a year.[1]
The film was described by Los Angeles Times as "big, exciting, personal and in its way inspiring."[1] However it struggled to find a distributor and was never released theatrically.[1] Lipscomb adapted the story into a book which was published in 1974.[2][3]
