Caribbean Films

You won't find the plenitude of Hollywood, Bollywood nor Nollywood but you will find a rich landscape and a warm people that provide a great setting and contribution to the film industry. Welcome to films about the Caribbean and its Diaspora especially those shot in the Caribbean.

We all understand that there are many movies made across the world but only a few make it to the big screen because that is what the "masses" want.
My connection with Caribbean film comes by way of Distribution. My job is to present stories about the romantic and the raw side of paradise so that the viewer can be more vested in the truth about the tropics. Some of these stories are hard to find because of the lack of deep pockets for marketing promotions as well as not being desirable for personal escapism i.e. some of these films don't make us forget about our problems. Support independent filmmakers who have a burning story to tell and the network that brings the film to you, not by burning your own disc (bootlegging can be very tempting) but by viewing and purchasing media listed below. 
Discuss these stories with others (families, friends and newsgroups) and 
develop a better understanding of the rich stories from the tropics. 

Caution: If after discussing you are further weighed down with heavy issues like Cultural Imperialism, Globalisation of Drugs, Crime and Corruption and Environmentalism, it is not a bad idea to call on Providence. 

I do encourage you to check out the films through your local library, video stores 
and online services such as Netflix in the US and Amazon video service in the UK. 
If you can't find movies in these outlets and you would like to use my assistance, please contact Lignum Vitae Books ( lignuml@yahoo.com) 
where searching is our specialty. Also, send us some feedback.
Enjoy!
