You can just feel the passion of these Creatives and their love for Jamaica! 🇯🇲 So good our government is investing into us sharing our inspiring stories with the world 🌎 We are Overcomers and those stories will inspire others that they can overcome too no matter the challenge they're facing! Much Respect! Thanks for sharing this Irina 👏🏾 ❤

Jamaica needs to learn from the S Korean Gov’t which heavily invested in exporting the beautiful, idealized side of Korean culture via K-Drama and K-Pop, which has been a huge success and leading to the demand for Korean products abroad Jamaica is in a sweet spot to do the same

Images And Stories are the economy of our existence Jamaica, like Black Worldwide, has to take the initiative and reclaim Our Images And Stories

Oh you moved up to Kingston! Never thought you'd ever do that 😊
Comment from : @TechWizz

The film industry is an excellent niche that Jamaica NEEDS to capitalize on The film industry can work in tandem with tourism, and it would be a real game changer Topic I would recommend to become a film would be on Nanny of the Maroons or the Trelawny Maroons sent to Nova Scotia and Sierra Leone 💯🇯🇲
Comment from : @redstripe4lyphe

Why do we need to add right to a statement or a sentence Why not go left
Comment from : @jaredfannel1977

🇯🇲🇯🇲 Despite our population size and because of our talents there are not “ too many rivers we cannot cross”brWe’ve impacted cultures and mindsets with athletics, food, music and to a lesser extent potois, our unofficial but recognized national dialectbrI’ve always thought that the average Jamaican is naturally endowed with confidence and ability to express oneself publicly, enough to be charismatic and camera-friendlybrI’m not unaware that which is an “Oscar” performance on YouTube might not qualify to be in a B rated cinematicbrHowever, I just think there are too many fermented talents lying around wasting away when showmanships and self-expressions are not unlike water trying to seek a level groundbrNo doubt this $billion film initiative will be a catylst to harvest many “ Hollywood-type fruits” that creative execs from yonder shores will come begging to know “how are they doing so much with so little”brWe need not look very far when our track & field athletes were footnotes at the Olympics, to winning a few medals and now iconic world beatersbrLet them keep asking the questions “ how and why”………the answer remains TALENT
Comment from : @BORNFREE876

Jamaicans are natural actors, I would say naturally funny, it's a great opening
Comment from : @carolfarquharson-smith3650

Thank You
Comment from : @Madmix_Dancehall_Movie-cx1db

We need the Marcus Garvey movie now
Comment from : @jon8537

Rolling Calf stories were capable for keeping children running home before dark, despite the lack of special effects I am thinking, The Blair Witch ProjectbrbrSesame Street may have a nice formula to bring to the islandbrbrbrSciFi and Fantasy fiction without the horror component would be nice to see I recall, The Mighty QuinnbrbrI currently believe the crime and depravity stories are already well explored by the US film industry when it comes to black people and don't need to see those, personally
Comment from : @G11713

You know seh a horror film name “Rolling Calf” would do big for Jamaica I don’t mind if somebody make a film like this I’ll even help with ideas
Comment from : @MrDragon9000

There is a book titled " From Hervey River" the book starts in Island, climaxed in Jamaica and ended in Canada This I believe would make the best Netflix series, please see if you could encourage someone to write the script of this book Have a read and you will see what I am talking about From Harvey River: A Memoir of My Mother and Her Island
Comment from : @staffordhemans

I have an idea for a movie"An athelete in the Making" Should I go further?
Comment from : @kattahb4103

Comment from : @cleverB634

I think they should do a spin off the Bob Marley movie There are so many layers to his life to explore They focused on his relationship with Rita Marley Now they can do his music, his travels, his love for football and his children and much more
Comment from : @cleverB634

Are they going to be working with the comedy play people like Patrick Brown and the trail blazers like Glen Campbell and Oliver Samuels to get some stage plays broadcasted?

Can't wait to see what comes to the screen brSecond, I grew up in Switzerland and I can't even start to tell you how Cool running effected the positive outlook of Jamaica, that is why you see the whole world cheering in sports for Jamaican athletes brI mean how may times in tge Olympics you cheer for a country that isn't yours?

Thank you for this video and all the research done to ensure it fully captures the groundbreaking importance of the JSDI! I'm the former Commissioner who supervised the initial design of the fund and shepherded it through to cabinet approval with the Govt It was a momentous team task, which as many said, was years in the making! Congrats and kudos to all, and I am looking forward to seeing the projects under development
