CAST of the movie “Till I find a place,” yesterday paid a courtesy call on Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Dr. Frank Anthony at his Main Street office.
The cast included playwright, Ronald Hollingsworth; Editor, Neil Bacchus; Screenwriter and Director, Mahadeo Shivraj; Promoter, Neaz Subhan and main actors of the movie that was shot in Guyana and highlights various parts of the country.
Minister Anthony said the fact that an overseas group can share their film-producing expertise is a step in the right direction.
He added that there is scope for development of the film industry in the country, and the movie is the first step in pioneering that path.
Persons should be inspired by the making of the local film, thus wanting to create more films and it will encourage competitions among various producers, Minister Anthony said.
This will allow film competitions to take place in the country and encourage foreigners as well as locals to be interested in what film-makers have in store to entertain them.
Minister Anthony said that the Ministry will always be there to assist in the productions of local films as they would develop the country’s film industry.
Bacchus, who has come back to Guyana after 19 years, stated that the movie will showcase the country, its richness and talented citizens to the rest of the world.
The Movie was launched in New York, on the television show, “Xposed TV,” which is owned by Stealth Productions, thus taking the movie to international markets.
Bacchus added that the movie is slightly different from the play, since sound tracks are added, which were sung by local singers.
Hollingsworth stated that the movie will be a launch of a generation of new movies in the country.
