Italian film producer Andrea Lervolino is partnering with the University of the West Indies Five Islands Campus to launch a film program for students, aiming to boost the region’s filmmaking industry. The collaboration includes plans for internships and potential incorporation of digital animation. Lervolino, now an Antigua and Barbuda citizen, expressed his eagerness to engage directly with students and offer some the chance to gain filmmaking experience in Italy.
The program could transform UWI Five Islands into a leading film studies institution in the Caribbean, complementing UWI Mona’s existing but less successful film section. Lervolino’s introduction to the country was facilitated by Ambassador Dr. Dario Item, who helped secure a USD$100,000.00 contribution to the UWIFIC. The initiative also explores tax incentives to attract large-scale film producers to Antigua. Lervolino plans to shoot films in Antigua, showcasing local talent and supporting the artistic community.

US $100,000 can buy what? What are we signing?
That money is better served sending a student on a full scholarship.
If EC 2k can get some organizations recognition, I guess US$100k can get your feet in the UWI door and give prestigious limelight..🤔😉
Don’t believe the hype !!
The $100,000 is the value placed on in-kind service. Don’t be misled in thinking a check was written.
What Mona offers can easily be picked up from the internet. That’s why they are considered less successful.
The base skills and knowledge needed for the film industry today and tomorrow are in Artificial Intelliegence.
Tyler Perry just cancelled a $900 million planned investment when he learned about the impact of AI in the film industry.
Rather than acting like a trade school; and be also less successful; UWIFI should be offering a curriculum in Python, Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Neural Networks.
Bottom line; the UWIFI may become a leading film studies institution in the Caribbean, and maybe that’s all they need. But don’t believe the hype!
Don’t go to college to lean how to repair cold pots.
The state of film production in the near future is not what is being taught at UWIFI.
The way in which scripts written and films produced is drastically changing.
Here is a link which tells about it.
