A great experience in The Bahamas!

We just returned from a really ire time in Nassau at the Bahamas International Film Festival. RiseUp screened three times over a four day period, to a very supportive caribbean people who truly loved the film. That made us very happy and can´t wait to our Jamaican release which has a tentative date of March 2010.
Also at the festival, the one and only Johnny Depp was honored with a lifetime achievement award which was given my none other than sir Sean Connery, another permanent resident of the Bahamas. It was a lovely night at the awards ceremony (RiseUp participated in a non-competitive section called Caribbean Sidebar) and it all ended up at a fantastic seafood restaurant called "The Poop Deck" where a special guest and juror of the fest, Mr. Delroy Lindo treated us all to some amazing local food. What a grat finale, BigUps to Delroy and Bahamas International Film Festival!!!
