## Company background
Neal H. Moritz founded [Original Film](https://www.edgepedia.org/original-film) and remains its defining figure. A 1998 *Los Angeles Times* profile described him, then 39, as cultivating new talent at his Original Film company as the producer of *Urban Legend*, *Cruel Intentions*, and *[I Still Know What You Did Last Summer](https://www.edgepedia.org/i-still-know-what-you-did-last-summer)*; his grandfather co-founded [American International Pictures](https://www.edgepedia.org/american-international-pictures), and his father later ran it[6](https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1998-oct-04-ca-29038-story.html). LinkedIn describes Moritz as one of Hollywood's most prolific producers and the 5th highest-grossing producer of all time[7](https://www.linkedin.com/company/original-film-neal-moritz).
Moritz's relationship with Sony Pictures Entertainment dates to 1997. In January 2015, Sony announced a four-year renewal of his first-look development and production deal with [Columbia Pictures](https://www.edgepedia.org/columbia-pictures) through 2019, noting that over the previous 17 years the partnership had produced more than 25 films and that Moritz's worldwide box office gross exceeded $7 billion across more than fifty released films[3](https://www.sonypictures.com/corp/press_releases/2015/01_15/011415_nealhmoritz.html). According to a more recent directory, the company's feature film first-look arrangement with [Paramount Pictures](https://www.edgepedia.org/paramount-pictures) runs through 2027, and it also maintains an overall television agreement with [Sony Pictures Television](https://www.edgepedia.org/sony-pictures-television)[4](https://www.productionlist.com/production-contact/original-film).
The name also attaches to a commercial production operation. Production List characterizes Original Film, whose stylized name is ORIGINAL, as a commercial and branded content production house with a presence on both coasts, headquartered in Los Angeles, that Bruce Mellon and Neal Moritz started together during the early part of the 1990s, and notes it has built a reputation on national advertising work and viral content for brands such as [Disneyland](https://www.edgepedia.org/disneyland), Chase, and Verizon FiOS, with executive producers and partners Bruce Mellon, Joe Piccirillo, and Jeff Devlin at its head.[4](https://www.productionlist.com/production-contact/original-film) The same directory entry notes that the company also operates as a major Hollywood film and television production banner under Moritz[4](https://www.productionlist.com/production-contact/original-film).
