First round of development deals for movie-makers will be announced at Bahamas Film Industry press conference.

How did JEFFORD CURRE'  Paradise Intrigue 
benefit from Megavision Pictures development start-up deal?

While most artists require a major PR campaign and millions of dollars each year to keep their career alive, for some strange reason, it seems that  Jefford Curre’  is getting away with a whole lot less.  According to a Megavision Pictures filed report issued in 2004, he’s not really getting away at all.  He has paid his dues in personal sacrifices beyond your wildest dreams, and has clearly earned a right to succeed without compromise or apology.  In the beginning Megavision Pictures spent an insane amount of money establishing his "key man" position.  Apparently, they had little or no doubts about his ability to make it this far. 

Today, he’s riding mostly on momentum, as the Bahamas indigenous movie industry approaches a whole new exciting phase.  Jefford Curre’ is considered by many to be one of, if not  the most influential figure in the game.   The achievements of his near impossible missions have established him as a serious force to  be reckoned  with.  But according to those that make up the core of his entourage,  Jefford Curre’ is far from serious.  He’s responsible, yes, but definitely not serious.

Coming in March 2013 Stars In Paradise magazine will have the first run exclusive access behind the scene and into the jet-setting lifestyle of the Bahamas leading man of action. It will be his first interview since the Wall Street Journal featured him in the article ''The Networking Game''. Keep up with Stars In Paradise  daily, it's about to get hot.  starsinparadise.com 

Oh, we almost forgot Megavision Pictures has announced the projects that has made it into its first round of development for 2013. Stars In Paradise will be giving you the update daily as it unfold.

Jefford Curre'. At the core of the Bahamas Film Industry.

Jefford Curre'.

Could he be among the few

positioned well enough

to take the Bahamas

movie industry to the

next level?

With all odds stacked against him, he started his journey as a shy, nerdy, skinny kid, living on a dead end street on the 7 by 21 mile island of New Providence in the Bahamas. Challenging times, hard work, bee stings and fierce discipline, has no doubt played a major role in Jefford Curre’s evolution into a world class, award winning talent. With a whole lot of help, he is successfully rewriting the rules of box-office super-stardom.

To some, he’s a jet setting playboy with a “Midas” touch, to others, he’s a trusted spiritual leader. Whatever your conclusion may be, one thing remains clear and without contest, Jefford Curre’ is more than just a leader, he is an artist beyond compare, and a powerful inspiration to anyone who struggles to make impossible dreams come true.

Follow the path and find out why they call him the Bahamas' leading man of action.

Part 1 Million dollar secrets of the Bahamas Film Industry

       




Closely
Guarded Secrets of

“Made For Movie” Money

If you are new in the film/entertainment business, your biggest problem will be finding finances for your film. Though there are many options you can take, more than likely you may only be aware of a few. Such as: applying for grants, borrowing money from banks, relatives or friends. These channels very often do not work out for the artist in the long run, but it is a quick way to get into the game.

The best way to finance a film is in an investment consortium, under the guidance of a mentor, who by the way can be very instrumental in helping you to acquire your own money eventually. Oh, did I say the taboo controlling word, "mentor"? Yes, mentor. Mentor in this day and age? Yes, a mentor is someone who activates the humility within you that creates an atmosphere for learning or connecting to a higher level. This person is usually someone you wish to be like and someone secure enough not to worry about the possibility of you succeeding beyond him or her, should fate have it to be. The truth of the matter is, if the relationship is structured properly neither parties would have to be concerned about ending up in an odd or seemingly strained relationship position. Your success will automatically lead to further success for your mentor as it is the law of nature. Extremely successful people working in the Bahamas Film Industry all understand this concept and benefit greatly from it.

Jefford Curre’ and the birth of the Bahamas movie industry

How It All Began 

The call of an ingenious visionary to lead the forefront of a new era in cinema history, now known as the Bahamas movie industry.

 

Once upon a time, in a land not too far away called the Bahamas, there lived a little boy named Jefford Curre’.   One day while out to the shopping center with his mother, he was intrigued by how much fun the little people were having inside the store T V set.  Without  hesitation he made his way to the back of the TV, to see if he could get inside.  As he inquired about the little people, his mother explained that they were movie stars.  His family was a part of a strict religious order and she wasted no time expounding that movie stars don’t go to Heaven.  Missing out on a little milk and honey did not exactly concern Jefford, because the family’s refrigerator always had a great supply of milk.  However, when his mother elaborated about the hell fire and brimstone, it almost scared the living day lights out of him.  Jefford’s desire to be in the movies never left, but all desire to qualify himself as a movie star was no longer a burning issue.  In his child like mind, he devised the perfect plan.  He won’t be a movie star, he would just be a guy in the movies, pretending to be a movie star.  Later on, as time went by, his parents had modernized their views on the world of movie making.   

In 1990, Jefford Curre’ decided to follow up on an earlier vision that was downloaded to him on the necessity to kick-start an indigenous movie industry in the Bahamas.  He requested his parents to grant him advance access to his share of the inherited family property, in order to use as collateral for a bank loan.  While most of his peers were busy using their money to stay in the latest fashion, updated motor vehicles or build houses, Jefford Curre’s focus remained with a great degree of concern on the nerve dangling fact that his homeland was almost solely depending on tourism.  He thought the nation was a sitting duck for an economic crisis,  with little or no new industry of global proportion in sight.   It did not look good, but it was obviously an issue few wanted to acknowledge as a potential problem.  Driven by a sense of mission and destiny, Jefford Curre’ decided that it was time to take action to develop a solution, to buffer potential future crisis.

Young filmmakers move up faster at Bahamas film industry

Tips for up and coming filmmakers in the Bahamas or anywhere else.

 Bahamasfilmindustry.com is making it easy for start ups to move ahead quickly,  by pushing the limits of qualifications, accountability and credentials. Believe it or not you can get some meaningful movie experience just by watching a variety of different movies and paying close attention to things like lighting, the angles of shots, the type of music for certain scenes etc... . However, just watching movies won’t complete the package, find someone who is making movies consistently and talk your way onto the team, even if you have to start as a production assistant standing by to take care of small chores that pop up throughout the day.  Even this could be a tough position to get into, but if you offer to work just for experience or deferred payment, more than likely you will beat out the competition.   You could end up in a position which will ultimately lead to making money. 

You can also utilize your local bookstore or library and read a book about film making, find one that can teach you all the technical things you need to know about film making. This Fall the megavisionkingdom.com will offer a wide range of opportunities for young movie makers that really mean business. They won't be free, then again nothing worthwhile ever is.- starsinparadise.com
