JAMPRO Commits to Growth of Film Industry - Jamaica News

Commits to Growth of Film Industry – Jamaica News

  President of Jamaica Promotions Corporation (JAMPRO), Diane Edwards, says the agency is committed to the growth and development of Jamaica’s film industry and will be moving to galvanise support for the sector.

Speaking at a pre-event media brunch for the Sundance Film Festival premiere of ‘Yardie’ at JAMPRO’s New Kingston headquarters on January 16, Ms. Edwards said that as part of this commitment, the agency will be lobbying the Government and other stakeholders.

“Our creative product needs much wider and broader expression (of interest) and we need to be supporting the industry more. Our competitors in the region have created film funds, tax rebates and upfront financing for films. JAMPRO will lobby the powers that be to develop a support mechanism for the film industry,” she said.

Ms. Edwards pointed out that not only is the agency placing focus on securing more jobs for Jamaicans working in the film industry, but also on getting an international place for Jamaican creative outputs such as music and stories.

JAMPRO, the national investment and export promotion agency mandated to promote investments in a number of targeted sectors, was instrumental in scouting locations for filming and arranging film permits for working in certain areas.

“We had a hand in this film (Yardie) and we are very excited to have that role to play in it. We want to see more movies filmed in Jamaica with Jamaican talent,” she said.

Ms. Edwards also wants to see the development of an empowered industry association as well as the implementation of a film licensing regime and a local guide to filming.

“There is a huge future for the Jamaican film industry, (and) we think Sundance is a step in the right direction, and, hopefully, it will take us to the next level,” she said.

Meanwhile, Film Commissioner, Renée Robinson, explained that discussions for the film began a number of years ago and that initial plans were not to cast local actors.

However, after the filmmakers travelled to Jamaica and were introduced to the talent pool and people within the local film industry, a decision was made to involve local actors.

Ms. Robinson congratulated the cast of Jamaican actors and actresses in the film, including Sheldon Shepherd, Shantol Jackson, Everaldo Creary and Antwayne Eccleston.

Meanwhile, Ms. Jackson said she is grateful for being a part of the film and hopes that it will resonate with Jamaicans because of its authenticity.

She also hailed the South St. Andrew community of Rose Town, where parts of the movie were filmed.

Set in the 1980s and adapted from Jamaican author, Victor Headley’s cult novel, ‘Yardie’ was filmed in London and Jamaica. It is centred around a young Jamaican man named ‘D’, who gets caught up in a life of gang violence and winds up hunting down his brother’s assassin in the streets of London.

‘D’ is played by Aml Ameen of the ‘Maze Runner’ and ‘The Butler’, and marks the directorial debut of British star, Idris Elba.

‘Yardie’ will have its world premiere at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, which runs from January 18 to 28 in Utah, United States, where it will be screened in the World Cinema Dramatic Competition from January 20.

The film has been ranked in the top-25 most anticipated international films by the multiplatform American digital and print magazine, the ‘Hollywood Reporter’.

JAMPRO Leads Cosmetics Manufacturers to Trade Show in New Orleans

JAMPRO Leads Cosmetics Manufacturers to Trade Show in New Orleans

The Jamaica Promotions Corporation (JAMPRO) will be leading a team of local cosmetics manufacturers to participate in the Bronner Brothers International Beauty Show in New Orleans, United States, from March 30 to April 1.

The annual beauty show, which is one of the largest of its kind in North America, attracts more than 35,000 hairstylists, make-up artists, entrepreneurs, manufacturers, distributors and retailers for networking and to showcase their products and services.

The group will consist of persons and entities producing a wide range of items for the hair, face, and body, including shampoos and conditioners; moisturisers; hair and body oils; hair gels and treatments; facial scrubs, cleansers, masks and washes; and a wide range of soaps.

In an interview with JIS News, Sales and Promotions Manager for Manufacturing, Energy and Mining at JAMPRO, Berletta Henlon-Forrester, said that the show provides an opportunity for manufacturers to showcase and sell their items and meet with distributors to generate long-term business.

She noted that over the three days, the local manufacturers will meet with buyers and visitors, and conduct product demonstrations, sampling and sales.

“So, it involves networking and getting deals with distributors, as we are looking for sustainable business,” she said.

Mrs. Henlon-Forrester said that product sales, while unusual at a trade show, will enable the companies to recoup some of the money spent to participate in the event.

“The fact that they are allowed to sell their products to a salon owner and meet with distributors and retailers who can place orders on an ongoing basis is all part of JAMPRO’s mandate of increasing export in a sustainable way,” she pointed out.

In terms of projections for the show, she informed that a target has been set for 45 export leads to be generated and 25 buyer meetings to be held.

“One of the activities that we engage in when we go on these shows is to take a day to go and visit the trade (floor), meet with retailers and walk through some of the retail outlets to see what the products look like.

“We do the comparison with other similar products, look at price points, packaging, product quality, product ingredients and talk with the retailers as this is a very important element of our mission. This is where the companies gather market intelligence and can come back and apply some of the learning to the products that they are making,” the Manager pointed out.

She said that the local cosmetic items have the advantage of being made from natural, home-grown ingredients such as turmeric, charcoal, aloe vera, castor oil, honey, coffee, lemon grass, garlic, rosemary and moringa.

In terms of preparation for the beauty show, Mrs. Henlon-Forrester noted that JAMPRO held a briefing session with all the participating entities on the markets that they are going into, the profile of the show and visitors, how to prepare for the show and display their products, and how to engage people in order to gain maximum results.

“We also prepared a one-page flyer detailing the characteristics of their products, pictures of the products and contact information. We are constantly in communication with them, and, at the show, we will get into the conversation with them and the buyer, if they ask us to help to clarify situations,” the Manager noted.

She said that JAMPRO will document all the outcomes from the Show, including the leads generated and orders and reorders, as part of measures to ensure sustainability.

“We are not in this for one-off sales, as we are creating and facilitating exports on a sustainable basis. We rely a lot on the follow-up that the companies will do and the feedback that we get, because this is how we measure the results,” she noted.

She said that JAMPRO creates the environment, facilitates the companies and opportunities for them to interface with the buyers, “but, at the end of the day, it is up to them to follow through and convert the leads”.

JAMPRO led missions to the Bronner Brothers International Beauty Show in Atlanta in 2017 and 2018.

Mrs. Henlon-Forrester said that coming out of those events, “we now have some 50 Jamaican cosmetic products in retail stores in Atlanta that were not there prior to 2017… so that has been a huge success and those stores continue to order on a consistent basis”.
