Belize Is The Place To Be If You Are Talking Beautiful Location
The definition as stated on Yahoo of Natural Beauty is " a place that needs no enhancements. It's a quality of a location that gives intense pleasure and deep satisfaction". Those two sentences best describe the reason to come to Belize to shoot your next movie, commercial, print shoot or web film. Belize has become a self contained film location. It's locations vary from Mayan ruins, the best underwater photography in the Western Hemisphere, and beautiful tropical forests and includes friendly knowledgeable crews who are willing to work hard for a days wage. Belize has an extremely friendly government that will go out of its way to make your shoot enjoyable, efficient and highly productive.
You have many location choices available to you as a film maker in the world today. The Film Commissioner of Belize is acutely aware of that and is working very hard to create tax incentives for film makers and build up it's local film business so that Belize can compete with anyplace in the world for filming.
Give us a shot, for your next shoot. You will not be disappointed.

Just An Ordinary Day In Belize
Friday, June 4, 2010
Quitting Time/ The Cast and Crew
The Martini Shot on Caye Caulker, this was an amazing day, being a part of a production really brings everyone together. We shot this day with a skeleton crew and everybody had to do double duty since we were a bit short handed. The beauty of the show is that there is a Taste Of Belize in every aspect of life in the country. In future episodes we plan on showing you the best that country has to offer, I truly believe that Belizean cuisine is one par with any food from around the world. The fact that you can enjoy it while looking at a sunrise or a sunset like the one we are watching from the roof of bar at "The Split" just reconfirms that Belize is truly a magical place. Come join us in July down here in paradise for the Belizean International Film Festival July 16th - July 24th 2010 and experience your own "Taste Of Belize"

It's Differnt On TV, In Real Life It's Simple Amazing
This was Chef Keith Jones first time in the water, he was amazed at how clear the water was and the fact that he could sea all types of fish swinging around the boat. It was quite an experience for him because at an early age he had a bad episode with a neighborhood friend and he almost drowned. Kudos Big Keith for stepping up to the plate and confronting your fears and eventually getting in the water. You can see more of Chef Jones and his Belizean experience on the new TV Show "A Taste Of Belize". For more information please visit www.nichbelize.org www.belizefilmcommission.org
