Jefford Curre' and the birth of the Bahamas film industry, in a Bahamas with no indigenous film market.

How It All Began

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

BAHAMAS FILM: Once upon  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 film 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. Bahamas Film Industry was born.

Positioning yourself for movie money in the Bahamas Film Industry

BAHAMAS FILM INDUSTRY.
 Whether you’re an international money launderer posing as a banker, or a relative of pirates who went legit at the turn of the century, you already know about the buried treasure that still lies yet undiscovered in, the Bahamas. Treasure chest was uncovered in 1994 when Jefford Curre' invented the Bahamas Film Industry.

Countless sad stories of weak filmmakers who regrettably sold their integrity and allowed themselves to be manipulated by people just to get some money.

The in-house training division of Megavision Pictures runs a very interesting program that teaches filmmakers, not only how to make films, but more importantly, how to attract money without losing their own identity. If the filmmaker loses identity and integrity, he has nothing different to offer his starving audience. When this happens he is no longer unique and his days are numbered.

Filmmakers, practically, in the newly emerging global Bahamas film market, might find it not a bad idea to establish their position before forming close working relationships with foreign entities. In other words, you must establish a structure that identifies you and demonstrates internal accountability. This is important for some very good reasons.

Make no mistake about it, whoever you ask for money will proposition you with a list of conditions. The key is to find the company that echoes the sentiments that you stand for. For example, if your films or film festival is about spreading democracy, don’t expect the grant organization that believes in dictatorship to fund you. You will have to change your mind about the governing process and demonstrate that change vividly before you can get the money. 

How many times have you seen filmmakers or film festival operators start out with good intentions about producing movies that encourage good will among all mankind. Often we realize after a year or so, their press release starts selling them as an extremist in either race, creed, color or religion. This happens because real structure and accountability was missing at the beginning. There was no clear mission of conviction.   starsinparadise.com
