TT Film Festival 2016 Opens

The Trinidad & Tobago Film Festival is up and running. There’s great selection of films in the line-up.

What I liked was Dr. Bruce Paddington’s statement that local films can support a National Buy Local campaign.

And Flow’s Marketing Director Cindy-Ann Gatt says audiences like local and regional content. Not just films. She says they can only do so much, so she is calling on more companies and their sponsorship departments to support filmmaking. She should know, Flow is in the business of broadcasting, if she says customers want local, we should give them local.
