I'm Ready For My Close Up

Belizean Actors have traveled a tough road to get their break in the movies. The fact that Hollywood had to come to Belize for some of them to be able to show their talent is truly a blessing from God. We taped a few actors as they went through their first Hollywood style audition, we all must enjoy the process and make the most out of each opportunity. I want Belizean hopefuls to always remember that every time you are in front of the camera you are becoming a better actor and you are improving your craft. Always believe in yourself and keep your dream alive. Dare To Dream!!

Carmelo Anthony Works With The Belize Film Commissioner

Is this the jersey of the 2009/2010 MVP? Carmelo Anthony might be filming in Belize during the off season. Boy wouldn't it be nice to have the current NBA M.V.P. come to our shores and enjoy the Jewel. Carmelo's team mate Kenyon Martin gave Belize such high praise after his visit Carmelo told me that he would definitely like to visit Belize in the near future. Melo I hate to tell you that Belize is Laker country, but for you I'm sure that we'll find a lot of Nugget fans here. Surprisingly Colorado sends a very high number of tourist here during the season. I think it's because of the awesome dive sites and the raw pristine beauty of the country. Nugget fans don't be left behind, get your tickets and come enjoy Belize during the month of July, when the annual Belize Film Festival is taking place. Date July 16th to July 25th, we have a lot to offer.

Shaq Loves Belize

This is a video of Big Shaq on the set of our Verizon Commercial at Universal Studio lot back in 2005. The Superbowl commercial had a host of stars, Kid Rock, Deion Sanders, Cristina Aguilar and the daddy of them all Shaq. Shaq was with the Miami Heat at that time and he was a little down after the losing to the Clippers the night before the shoot, but he still new that Belize was the spot even back then. The commercial was directed by Kinka Usher and it was the genesis for the first Verizon Webisode "BarberShaq" which starred Shaq as a neighborhood barbershop owner who would have all his celebrity friends come by and shoot the breeze with him. The first episode starred him and a pre-oscar Jaime Foxx as they talked about Shaq's departure from the Lakers. Well now it's 2009 and Shaq still loves Belize and he's looking to come down and hangout in the country during the off season.
