Off to a great start.

For many it rivaled the anticipation and excitement of the New Year's Eve countdown while raising the bar on respect, kindness and honor.

This New Year's Eve marked another important milestone in the history of honor and entertainment. For some, it might have been just another year-end, but for many it was a double thriller. The anticipation of the announcement of the winners of the “Jefford Curre' Distinguished Medal Of Honor” rivaled the excitement of the New Year's Eve countdown. It was the official introduction of a new and exciting accolade named after Jefford Curre'. Jefford Curre' is the inventor of the Bahamas Film Industry and the box-office entrepreneur who financially engineered the rise of the Bahamian indigenous movie-making movement (starsinparadise.com).

What is it that sets the “Jefford Curre' Distinguished Medal Of Honor apart from every other award?

“It is not given down, it's given up.” Jefford explains. “Everyone the committee nominated is much better than I am in the category that they were nominated for. It's equally important to note that while I do admire their work, I do not fall under their leadership. However, many lives have been touched by the tireless work of each and every nominee. I don't know of any award you can receive without having a particular social tie-in, political affiliation, military club membership or religious grouping. We felt there was a gap and the time was right to change the motivation for accolade giving. It seems only fair and makes complete common sense. Why can't we just give honor simply because honor is due?''

The launch of the “Jefford Curre' Distinguished Medal Of Honor took one year in planning. It was impressively executed by a social media team of goal sharing volunteers and friends of the Curre' family. The entire team spent a fun filled New Year's Eve weekend hanging out with Jefford at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas. Without a hitch, the “Jefford Curre' Distinguished Medal Of Honor” got off to a great start, announcing its first round of winners exactly as the clock struck twelve.

Terrance Rodgers  created the biggest upset of the night as he took a commanding lead in votes, winning the top spot in the category of Entertainment Science. It was a category that many thought could have easily been dominated by the iconic, crowd- pleasing Lincs Scavella or the communication master, Ossie Andros. Sneaky film industry pioneer William Butler took the win in the category of Box-Office Innovation, closely followed by the gorgeous Swedish filmmaker, Anna Essling and Lincs Scavella. Terrance Rogers however took a pounding in the category of Kindness and Philanthropy up against the good deed gladiator Pema Dorjee, who took the winning accolade, sending Cristian S. Aluas running for cover. Christian S. Aluas rebounded with incredible resilience to forge an amazing and impressive win at the top of the ''Performance Art'' category. He barely edged out the forever controversial Ossie Andros who was closely trailed by Anna Essling in the final countdown. All results are now official.

Bringing to the forefront,  leaders  committed fulltime to the sharing of their special gifts, to make  the world a better place. 

“The Jefford Curre' Distinguished Medal Of Honor has opened the portal to a new world of opportunities in entertainment, arts, science and philanthropy. It was originally planned as a simple goodwill gesture,” says Jefford, “But somehow it got blown completely out of proportion. Judging from the overflow of positive feedback, the next event could quadruple in scale. There are special people among us who have made a major difference in the lives of so many. They have made a decision to commit full time to the sharing of their leadership abilities and special gifts, in order to make the world a better place. Most of us simply go on without even realizing how much their contributions have impacted what we may now take for granted. The Jefford Curre' Distinguished Medal Of Honor is out to raise the bar on Respect, Kindness and Honor.”

Jefford Curré ASIAN FAMILY CONNECTION - Bahamas Film Industry NEWS Report.

MOVIE - In a quiet, friendly late-night maneuver, with no Kung-Fu fighting, the highly respectful Jefford Curré became the proud owner of the Asian Movie Network.

"Dreams come to pass with much business and painful effort."

In 1991 Jefford Curré applied for a business license to do something that was never done in the Bahamas. He kicked started a new industry with the set up of Megavision Pictures in the Guanahani Village Resort. There was a sign on the wall that clearly read “Megavision Pictures”. At that time there was no such thing as a Bahamian movie company.  Believe it or not, at that time it actually against the law to form or operate any kind of media/movie distribution operation. He had no idea this situation existed. How did Jefford Curré overcome this unfair dilemma that made its way into the progressive fiber of the nation that he had once put his life on the line to protect? The unbelievable story of how he changed the game is now revealed for the first time in his new bestselling episode  "JEFFORD CURRÉ CIVILIAN ENGAGEMENT" 

It was the early Megavision Pictures crowd-pleasing hits like "Mystery of the Granny Tales" and "Paradise Intrigue" that established Jefford Curré beyond contest, as a visionary leader that was bringing a new number one industry well into credible focus. During the opening week of the Bahamas first movie company, Jefford Curré did a Megavision Pictures launch press interview.  It went live from the Town Center Mall. He along with his movie stunt team had just thrilled thousands of kids with a spectacular live televised fight scene to promote the ”Paradise Intrigue” action movie.  A reporter asked him what does it feel like to be the first in so many aspects of the new Bahamas cinema industry. Curré replied, “It’s not so important to be the first, as it is to be the best at what you do. I may be the only one now, but if I do this  right, six months from now there should be six more like it.” Today Jefford Curré remains the Bahamas' most bankable superstar and his uniqueness has positioned him in a class all by himself, with no real competition. Today an army of inspired followers are holding their own in the rapidly expanding global platform of the Bahamas Movie Industry. 

In 1994 the young box-office entrepreneur incorporated Megavision Pictures Limited and moved his base onto Paradise Island.   As one Hollywood executive puts it “It was Jefford Curré who invented the blaze of  the Bahamas Film Industry, everyone else was simply inspired by the light of his burning flame and just kept on fanning.” 

The Asian Movie Network development has been in the making for quite some time. The Bahamas leading man of action remains humble in his most ambitious undertaking since his invention of the Bahamas Film Industry and the financial engineering of the indigenous movie-making movement.   He was surprised by the speed at which his popularity had increased in the global marketplace. He was equally stunned to learn that the wonderful people of the Chinese community had respectfully positioned him to impact controlling interest in more than seventy Chinese movie-related operations. This was unthinkable in earlier times, but the world is changing and truly becoming more at one in the importance of family values. The international jet-setting superstar is no stranger to high-level achievements, respect, or recognition. In 2010 the Wall Street Journal discovered the box-office genius and included him in a pick of only 7 individuals, that were selected from a network of more than 800 business professionals. The featured article, “The Networking Game” at: on.wsj.com/9IskoF, brought to the attention of the world, a cool innovative power player, committed to the advancement of civilization with a much bigger plan.  It is a plan that has positioned numerous trade organizations, entrepreneurs, and start-ups for maximum success in the new 21st-century economy. Jefford Curré remains at the forefront, leading a new world of box-office excitement.

JEFFORD CURRE' 

  

Star/Director/Creator of

“Paradise Intrigue” the Bahamas first movie

  
Question 3. Apart from his mother and father, who were the mystery mentors behind the rise of Jefford Curre', and why did they commit to  his vision?

Before entering the movie business, the elusive Jefford Curre’ lived a very dangerous life. He found himself managing multi-million dollar temptations, in the deadly intervention of major narcotics smuggling operations that traffic through the outer limits of the Bahamas.  Like a “Bond style” bounty hunter, running real life intervention missions for the Bahamas government, he spent more than 5-1/2 years at the center of non-stop classified action.  As a highly trusted direct entry specialist he has more than 37 off the record missions to his credit. Jefford Curre' was raised under monk style conditions by strict, but loving  Christian parents on the 7 by 21 mile island of New Providence, Nassau Bahamas.  At the age of eighteen he was discreetly recruited to the front lines of law endorsement', catapulted into a culture where the take down of murderous drug criminals, sophisticated money launderers, virtuous hot women and disgruntled weapons experts were the order of an average day.

At the age of four his  box office journey began while out to the shopping center with his mother.  It was the first time he had seen a moving picture. He was so intrigued by the fun the little people were having inside the T.V. set, he ran around the back of the big T.V. to see if he could get inside. After inquiring, his mother told him that they were movie stars and movie stars don't go to heaven. His family was a part of a strict religious order who in time had modernized their views toward cinema and became one of his greatest supporters.

Question 4. How did Jefford Curre' invent the Bahamas Film Industry?

It's ironic that Jefford Curre' would end up as the  pioneer of the Bahamas Film Industry. Before his first trip to America as a young adult, pursuing film studies, he had not even set foot inside a movie theater. By 1990, the Bahamas was a nation trapped in the success of a volatile tourist trade. It was becoming more obvious that new innovation would be needed to secure future job market. The thought of indigenous people operating their own movie company was laughable.  Jefford Curre' saw the vision of the future and a clear shot for his people to rise toward real economic prosperity. He requested  his parents to grant him his share of the family's inheritance in advance.

.

In 1991 on a highly organized shoestring budget he set up Megavision Pictures, a movie industry research and development office in Guanahani Village, Nassau Bahamas.  The huge sign board on the wall indicated that a new way of entrepreneurial thinking was brewing among the locals.  By the summer of 1994, with the help of visionary resort operators, he incorporated Megavision Pictures  Limited and moved his base onto Paradise Island, occupying two locations under closed studio conditions.

 Question 5. How did Jefford Curre' crisis become his biggest opportunity?

Like all pioneers his obstacles were endless. The bank demanded to hold the family's $80,000 property in order to give a mere  $15,000 loan, which was a far cry from the original request of $30,000.  Then they surprisingly stretched the loan distribution over a very long period, in small increments.  It was an advanced predatory maneuver beyond the experience of the young entrepreneur. It created a dilemma that left him minus the family's property and literally the clothes on his back.  He was facing major embarrassment with a nervous wife in one arm and a crying baby in the other.  

The Bahamas leading man of action was facing his darkest day in civilian life.  It was a situation that should have destroyed him, but instead motivated his interest in the study of financial engineering.  Employing savvy negotiation skills, it was not long before he was able to attract a network of innovative goal sharing partners to assist in the organization of the Megavision Kingdom Academy. An in-house home school that was designed especially to enable him to take the entire family on tours. Dirty diaper changes, production shoots, trail blazing mountain blizzards and often breakfast, lunch and dinner in completely different cities. These are the conditions that molded the office of Jefford Curre' into an unbeatable force in the new world of Box-office excitement. Later as the children grew beyond toddler stage,  he redesigned the operation to equip entry level box-office entrepreneurs with the skills and perspective needed to avoid or overcome financial challenges and succeed at navigating full-time careers. 

Jefford Curre' changed the economic outlook of an entire nation and raise the bar of hope for many. It did not take long before everyone realized that  making movies was something they could succeed at,  all they needed was a full time commitment through hell or high water.  An army of locals now storm the indigenous cinema landscape. Jefford Curre' ingenious box-office innovations has been featured in a wide variety of major publications including the Wall Street Journal  (on.wsj.com/9IskoF ), Stars in Paradise and USA Today.

Question  6. What did the Prime Minister of the Bahamas do that gave Jefford Curre' a leap frog start in the invention of the Bahamas Film Industry and why? 

The phenomenal success of this youngster, who emerged from a skinny nerd, living on a dead end street, will change almost everything you thought you knew about how to succeed in the entertainment business.  Most importantly, his tenacity inspired struggling filmmakers around the world to realize their untapped power. His unstoppable momentum against incredible odds enabled Bahamians to realize for the first time that there was something they could succeed at  without limitations. Jefford Curre' became the one to watch and a vivid example of the fact that they did not need a wealthy family, religious prestige, tight government connections or an impressive social status, in order to be a full time success in the Bahamas new number one industry.

As a big advocate of honor, respect and allegiance, Jefford Curre' holds the Bahamas Film Industry's Distinguished Medal of Honor. He is the first inductee into the Bahamas Movie Hall Of Fame and leads by strategic influence, a new world of box-office excitement.   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. He lives between homes in the Bahamas and Los Angeles, when not on tour at least 200 dates a year.  He is often accompanied by his wife, Darlene and two daughters Danielle and RiQashan. They are all successful full time box-office entrepreneurs in the global scope of the fast growing spectacular cinema movement, now branded as the Bahamas Film Industry, (bahamasmovieindustry.com). Long before Bahamian film festivals, screen actors associations, film camps and cinema societies, there was Jefford Curre' forging the Bahamas indigenous movie landscape into being. From an original indigenous cinema point of view, the Curre' family reigns as the Bahamas First Family of Cinema. Jefford, Darlene, Danielle and RiQashan make up the core of a powerful indigenous international cinema group that's 7,000 strong and growing.
