Belize Legends Group Shot.mov

Here we have over 40 years of Belizean Basketball Hoop Legends. They got together over the Independence Holiday weekend at Bird's Isle in Belize City, and talked about old times and bringing the old timers back to the courts to help with putting the fundamentals back into the game. If you look real closely you can see an import, from Panama & The Dallas Mavericks. Mr. Rolando Blackman was here in the country to celebrate our independence day, Sept. 21st and to offer his expertise to The Belize Basketball Federation. The Belize Film Commission was to capture the days event and will be involved in documenting these meeting and securing film footage for the archives.

Belize Film Commissioner Works With Angela Simmons

There's a bright young star in the making and she goes by the name of Angela Simmons, yes folks, Reverend Run's Daughter. I had the distinct pleasure of working with this young lady on the filming of a TV Pilot. I was quite impressed with her professionalism and her acting ability. She may come from The Royal Family of Rap, but she has quite a future in front of the camera as well. Look out Belize, rumor has it that the show may just have an episode that takes place in Belize. Who knows we may be seeing Angela & Vanessa down here in the country real soon.

"Portals to the Underworld."

Aug. 9th, 2010



The BELIZE FILM COMMISSION and NICH are excited to announce the premiere of GATES OF HELL on the History Channel, Tuesday, August 17, at 8 pm.



According to Courtney Engelstein, Development Producer of Red Marble Media, “ The show looks fantastic, and the segment in Belize is beautiful, compelling, and creepy. Thank you so much for your help in pulling that shoot together. History Channel has just begun airing promos, which we are very happy with as well.”



Red Marble Media filmed in Belize earlier this year for a commissioned two-hour History Channel special originally called "Portals to the Underworld." The documentary charts historical thoughts and beliefs about the afterlife from the ancient Maya to modern Christianity. Producers traveled to places that were once believed to be sacred portals to spiritual realms of which Belize was one and used interviews with experts and artistic depictions of the Underworld from throughout the ages for the project.

Mitch, Dwight, & The Commissioner

On the Lot at FOX Studios, after sitting down with the executives at FSN, we all had to take a moment and appreciate what just happened. I wanted to take this picture so I could have a visual reminder of the day. I want to personally thank Big Dwight Howard, Mitchell Butler & Jimmy Smith for allowing me to be a part of this project. Let's swing for the fences guys, in the words of the great Mitch Butler this is a zip code changing opportunity,

A Quote From Peter Friedman

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.
