In this episode we explore the Caribbean film industry and the challenges Caribbean filmmakers face in reaching their audience.
We chatted with Jamaican-born, Rachel Osbourne, who is dedicated to helping Caribbean filmmakers reach their audience through her media platform JulieMango.TV.
According to Rachel, the major issue the Caribbean film industry faces is not a lack of good films, but a poor distribution and marketing system for them. We also discussed the idea that the Caribbean audience is generally unaware of the availability of films from the region, which results in low viewership and the belief that the audience is not interested in Caribbean content.

The Friendship Episode
In our latest episode, Kerry-Ann and Chris talk with Clive Williams and Mikelah Rose on friendships.
Mr. Williams explains that in friendships you not only go through good and bad times, but you must also face them together.
In addition to poor communication, misunderstandings and inconsideration, Mr. Williams pointed to the fact that friendships typically dissipate due to promises not kept and expectations not met.
But, though challenges in friendships are often inevitable, reconciliation is usually possible.
Through this discussion, the audience is encouraged not to take the word “friend” lightly, but rather to be intentional in building and nurturing lasting friendships.
