Since 2005, Cinema One Originals has become a venue to discover and nurture new talents who have now gone on to bigger projects and wider audiences – may they be debuting filmmakers, screenplay writers, cinematographers, production designers and of course, actors and actresses. It has bravely contributed to closing the gap between commercial filmmaking and the more arthouse/indie approach to produce more compelling films that move beyond the boundaries of the mainstream.
This year, Cinema One reviewed and deliberated on over 100 submitted and defended screenplays. Cinema One Originals Filmfest will award P1,000,000 to each of the chosen seven (7) finalists to produce their movie.
Cinema One Originals’ seven finalists:
Remton Zuasola‘s Ang Damgo ni Eleuteria Kirschbaum”
a novelty comedy of a young provincial lass who becomes a mail order bride to hoist her family from poverty.
Richard Somes’ “Ishmael”
about an ex-convict who is ostracized by his neighborhood. Little does he know that this neighborhood he once knew is set to awaken his past.
Jason Paul Laxamana’s “Astro Mayabang”
a social satire about a financially, socially, intellectually and sexually frustrated man who boasts of his nationalism and Pinoy pride, but ends up humiliated because of his misguided and aggressive ways.
EJ Salcedo’s “Third World Happy”
a melodrama about a ‘balikbayan’ artist who has spent most of his life abroad but whose perspectives in life changes when he comes home to attend a funeral and reunites with his friends and girlfriend.
Joaquin Pedro Valdes’ “Dagim”
about two farm brothers whose search for their lost father lead them to a company of strange mountain inhabitants.
Sig Sanchez’s “Tsardyer”
about an ex-convict who is ostracized by his neighborhood. Little does he know that this neighborhood he once knew is set to awaken his past.
and
Michael Angelo Dagnalan’s “Layang Bilanggo.”
a family drama about a fugitive on the run who yearns for the love of his daughter that he abandoned several years ago and disguises in an attempt to get near her.
