Bahamas first movie, big budget remake. The global impact of the Bahamian film market.
Who will make the cast of the big budget remake of the Bahamas first movie, "Paradise Intrigue''? 
Before entering the movie business Jefford Curre' held what was considered to be perhaps the world's most dangerous job. For five tumultuous years he lived committed under "Bond style" conditions working the outer limits of the Bahamas as an English trained direct entry specialist, attached to the Royal Bahamas Defense Force. He Operated beyond the call of duty while managing multi-million dollar temptations in an environment that attracted some of the world's most beautiful women and deadliest of real life villains. In five and a half years Jefford Curre' racked up 37 successful highly classified missions to his credit. Trading on his reputation as a well liked no nonsense professional in the Royal Bahamas Defense Force, he successfully made an unconventional transition that enabled him to engineer the start of the Bahamas Film Industry. With the help of visionary resort operators, he established the Paradise Island base Megavision Pictures Ltd. (Bahamas first movie company) and kick-started the launch of the Bahamas first movie "Paradise Intrigue". As Megavision Pictures reloads for the much talked about big budget remake of "Paradise Intrigue", the original indigenous feature has made its way among the most creative classics of all time. In a world over run by sophisticated money launderers, murderous drug criminals and disgruntle weapons experts, Jefford's "Bond style" image takes an unconventional twist as he leads a crusade of courage, respect and rugged professionalism to save a peaceful playground from total destruction.
As "Paradise Intrigue" repositions itself for a global release, there may very well be a major change in characters, above and below the board. Critics express that new faces into the big budget game plan could add to the already excellent marketing edge the film has over its competition. The greatest concern is to plan against fallout in its indigenous interpretation or cultural value. It's the making of this Bahamas flagship movie, or perhaps the principles of the story itself that gives this project a rare distinction. You must understand the whole story or see the bigger picture of the obstacles that had to be overcome in order to make this project a reality. It's only then that you'll understand why Jefford Curre' is called the Bahamas leading man of action. Most important, you'll realize why he is such a huge inspiration to so many around the world who struggle to make impossible dreams come true.

101 directing tips for filmmakers - Bahamas film industry.
It’s ironic that Jefford Curre’ has emerged as one of, if not the most influential figures in the Bahamas film industry. Considering the facts that before he began his first series of movie production training trips into the USA as an adult, he had never even stepped foot inside a movie theater. Of cause there are movie theaters in the Bahamas but that had nothing to do with Jefford's development toward his destiny. He was a shy boy who grew up under monk style conditions in a strict Christian home, and was not even allowed to venture outside the boundaries of his back yard. His friends, however, were allowed to come in to play and sometimes needed to borrow money. Jefford never spent his allowance, except for occasionally buying gifts for his mother. He kept a loaded piggy bank from which he made small loans to his friends, but there was one problem, he seldom got paid back. To solve the escalating problem, the thrifty 10 year old negotiated what could be considered his first pay-per-view distribution deal that was a sure win-win. For on quarter, his friends, who were allowed to attend the movies, would gladly re-enact the entire movie that they had seen. For an extra ten cents, they would even add music and sound effects with their mouth, leaving the rest to Jefford’s imagination.
The cinema that took place in the sand pile went great until one day, while the boys were climbing the wall to demonstrate an ambush scene. Suddenly the newly built, fresh cemented walls started to shake, too many boys were on the wall. He tried to warn them, but things got out of control. After a leap, the entire top section of the wall came tumbling down. Everyone ran out of the yard as fast as they could. With the help of two friends, Jefford put the wall together piece by piece, using mud to cover the cracks. It was a great prop work, but did not survive the slamming of the gate that evening when his father came home. That evening, after a few dozen lashes on his bare bottom, he realized how difficult directing could be. He learned some very important directing lessons. Directing lesson no. 1. You are responsible for any and all out come, Directing lesson no. 2. Don’t work with people who don’t take directions or you can’t control. Directing lesson no. 3. If something goes wrong be prepared, you'll take a good licking but don't stop tickin. Directing lesson no. 4. Always have at least two friends you can trust, who won't run when the going gets rough. Directing lesson no. 5. Remember there is an opportunity in every problem, find it and keep moving toward the goal.
