Cinema One Originals Submission Deadline

Cinema One digital movie competition, now open for submission!

With the merging of commercial, independent and digital films in the
metro, anybody can demystify notions that the Philippine movie is
dying. And for this year, the thriving industry becomes more
promising as Cinema One opens its doors for the Third Annual Cinema
One Originals Digital Movie Competition.

Spearheaded and produced by the ABS-CBN entertainment subsidiary
Creative Programs Incorporated (CPI) in 2005, this year's Cinema One
Originals carries the theme "Ang Kwento ng Pinoy sa Buong Mundo."
It aims to create an anthology of original stories of Filipinos from
all over the world.

This year's film festival will include entries from interested
Filipino filmmakers living abroad, may they be Filipino-Americans or
overseas-based Filipinos.

What will further excite them is the increased total production
budget for each the chosen five screenplays to be filmed, which is
now P1 million from last year's P700,000.

Ronald Arguelles, Head of Cinema One, is just as ecstatic about this
year's Originals independent film selection. We've adjusted the
production money for each of the chosen films to augment and cover
more filming expenses. We're also opening the festival to Filipinos
who are interested to venture into filmmaking even while their living
or working abroad to cover a wider market this time.

Every entry to be submitted for the the Third Annual Cinema One
Originals Digital Movie Competition must include a detailed synopsis of the
movie's title, character descriptions, and a full screenplay or
script on or before the deadline on March 28, 2007.
