THOUGH FILM IN Barbados is growing at a phenomenal pace, young filmmakers are being told that the best is still yet to come.

At a launch for those registered in the Ministry of Youth’s Digital Media Film Workshop yesterday, Permanent Secretary Ruth Blackman told the students to feel good about all that is happening in film.

Speaking at the Ministry’s Sky Mall Haggatt Hall, St Michael office, she said the ministry was more than happy to help in giving them a “hand up” and not a “handout”. 

In welcoming participants, she said that film shouldn’t be seen as something to be done leisurely but as a potential pillar of economic development. (MR)
