History
Originally established in Chicago in 1980 under the name Chicago Teleproductions, the company moved to Los Angeles and adopted the CineTel Films brand in 1983. The enterprise was founded and led by Paul Hertzberg, a prominent figure in the motion picture industry. CineTel was among the pioneers in the direct-to-video sector, debuting with the film E. Nick: A Legend in His Own Mind in 1984.
In 2023, Vision Films acquired CineTel Films, thereby enhancing Vision's international reach and expanding its content portfolio.
