My excitement can’t be contained!!! I’m going to Jamaica for the inaugural Jamaica Film Festival. The Jamaica Film Festival, scheduled to be held in Kingston, July 7 – 11, 2015, is shaping up to be an powerful one, which will showcase the talents of the best and brightest in the Jamaican film industry. The festival promises to be a dynamic cinematic and cultural event, featuring both local and international movies.
There will also be a music day, to include: workshops; and a live reggae concert, at the Tuff Gong International Recording Studios. An exclusive beach party is planned for Saturday, which is geared to be a celebration of “fun in the sun,” against the visual bliss of the majestic Blue Mountains, as a backdrop in the distance. Trust and believe my beach gear is packed!!
Among the guest presenters are Emmy-nominated actress Tonya Lee Williams who is best known for her character Olivia on the soap Opera Young and the Restless; actors Dorian Gregory who may be recognized for his work on the series Charmed and Brian J White, a popular face from the TV dramas Scandal, Suits and The Shield, and Dale Godboldo who is currently filming FX ‘American Crime Story’ The People V.
