If you missed the opportunity to train at the Megavision Kingdom, there may still be hope for you. Stars In Paradise would like to share a few tips to get you started.
Pick a subject you know well. If you don’t know how to write, then that’s okay, you can just start writing your first draft the way you write, to get the story out of your head and onto paper, but it’s a good idea to take some writing classes so you can learn the standard format, so your script will make sense to others in the industry. The important thing is just to get started and push hard to a finish. - starsinparadise.com

JEFFORD CURRE’S EPIC MEMOIR highlights the 20th Anniversary of the Bahamas Movie Industry, and activates a bold new era in the fast growing cinematic movement.
To some he’s the jet setting play boy with a Midas touch. To others he’s a trusted spiritual leader. Whatever your conclusion may be, one thing remains clear and beyond 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.
Jefford Curre’ is a Bahamian box-office entrepreneur, who first rose to international fame, as the inventor of the Bahamas Film Industry. He stands alone as the visionary innovator, that initiated the kick-start of the country’s indigenous movie making movement. Jefford Curre’ does not own the Bahamas Film Industry, but his well planned position, from both a local and a global perspective has made him one of, if not the most influential figure in the game. As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Bahamas Film Industry, Jefford Curre’ stands at the forefront, in command and setting new challenges.
As a child he received his early training in motion picture photography under the tutelage of strict, but loving parents. Motion picture and photography was the family’s hobby. Movie going was prohibited by the church, however, his father with the use of slides and sixteen millimeter projection equipment, taught the cinematic arts to the family with the same importance as biblical science.
By 1991 Jefford Curre’ saw the vision of a new economic outlook for the Bahamas, and set up his first indigenous movie industry research studio office, in Guanahani village. He placed a giant sign on the front wall that read, “Megavision Pictures”. It was initially the focus of much laughter, for many who could not even imagine locals making and starring in movies so far removed from the Hollywood scene.
By 1994 with the help of visionary resort operators, he expanded his base on to Paradise Island and officially kick-started the indigenous Bahamian movie making movement. He began the production launch of two flagship projects, “Paradise Intrigue’’ (the Bahamas first all Bahamian movie) and “Mystery of the Granny Tales” (the first made for television all Bahamian movie series). As the first to enter the indigenous movie making game, Jefford Curre’ received overwhelming support from both locals and international organizations. It was his new school of thought towards the treasures in his own back yard that set him a part and sealed his position in the pages of cinematic history.
From the nerve dangling, pioneering missions of the Royal Bahamas Defence Force, to the unprecedented launch of the Bahamas movie industry, Jefford Curre’s Epic Memoir (the book) is an eye opener, a captivating journey that could challenge almost everything you thought you knew about good and evil. Built heavily on content ripped directly from top secret files, brace yourself for the ride of a lifetime. This epic memoir has best been described as steamy, stylish, risky and compelling. It stands in a class all by itself and is not even trying to be like anything you’ve read before. Forget the critics, this one you will want to judge for yourself. Fearlessly moving, without compromise or apology, it delivers a never before told true story in spectacular entertainment style, as only Jefford Curre’ can do. It plays out like an over comer’s manual on crisis prevention management techniques, in work, play, business and relationships. Jefford Curre’s Epic Memoir is a triumphant masterpiece built on a platform of danger, excitement, tears and side splitting humor.

Bahamas first movie, big budget remake. The global impact of the Bahamian film market.
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.
