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.
