SineBuano is a membership organization set-up to meet up every weekend for the promotion of independent filmmaking in Cebu and the central Visayan region to revive of the Cebuano/Visayan film industry.

SineBuano believes it can help in the resuscitation of the Cebuano/Visayan film industry by re-crafting both the methods of production and the business plan that go with it.

Sinebuano chooses to embrace independent filmmaking in introducing this revival effort.

Independent filmmaking is a fertile ground to start this revival process. Not only it is not required to adhere to the redundant formulas of mainstream cinema; it is more venturesome in its selection of stories to tell and in the manner which it will tell those stories.

It is a matter of choice that independent filmmaking offers a lot more space in exploring how Cebuano/Visayans can share unique stories of their hearts, their region and their culture.

SineBuano aims to entice the larger public to support Cebuano/Visayan filmmaking efforts with the current accessibility of digital tools in filmmaking and matched with the committed interest in the art of filmmaking, before proceeding to venture into the business of Cebuano/Visayan film industry.
