Since 2005, Cinema One Originals has been a breeding ground for new talents -- from debuting filmmakers, screenplay writers, cinematographers, production designers to actors and actresses.

Spearheaded by Cinema One Director for Programming and Executive Producer of the digital movie festival, Ronald Arguelles, Cinema One Originals has successfully paved the way for fresher, more diverse concepts to be produced.

Cinema One Originals has become the venue for movies that defy traditional or formulaic filmmaking but still maintains the potential for commercial viability.
 
Cinema One Originals is owned and produced by Cinema One, the top cable channel of Creative Programs Inc. (CPI)
