The Bahamas Film and Television Commission operates under the umbrella of the Ministry of Tourism. The Commission’s objective is to position The Bahamas as a desirable location for motion picture, television, fashion catalogue shoots, video and still photography and commercial film making. Primarily oriented to the mainstream motion picture industry, the BFPC has supported numerous high-profile international productions since the turn of the millennium, including Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean II and III (2006-7) and the Bollywood blockbuster Blue (2009). The Commission also has a track record of support for Bahamian independent films, among others Maria Govan’s Rain (2008), and Kareem Mortimer’s Windjammers (2009).
