The idea of inaugurating a Jamaican Film Academy was born with the concept for a Reggae Film Festival. Co-creators Peter Gittins of Reggae Films UK and JaMediaPro director Barbara Blake Hannah felt that the clear evidence of a new genre of films inspired by Jamaica's reggae music, indicated the need for establishment of an umbrella organisation to be 'godmother' to the tender emerging shoots of a flourishing Jamaican film industry.
The idea was endorsed by Minister of Culture Olivia Grange, who officially inducted six Film Pioneers at the first Reggae Film Festival in Febuary, 2008. www.jamaicafilmacademy.org
Jamaica Media Productions has been an active member of Jamaica's creative industries since 1984. JaMediaPro has produced 8 films, published two books, and presented and promoted a variety of entertainment events, as well as assisting in the career development of numerous Jamaican musical entertainers.
Author, communications consultant and film maker Barbara Blake Hannah, directs the Company's primary activities to expand the Jamaican music, publishing, film and video industries. The Company's flagship project is the annual Reggae Film Festival showcasing films from around the world that focus on the unique Jamaican musical and cultural expression.
Jamaica Media Productions continues to be one of Jamaica's leading distribution agents, promotor of Jamaican themed films, specializing in red carpet film launches and film screening events. http://jamediapro.jahweb.co.cc/
