Time for a Film School in Belize?

What about the idea of a film school in Belize? A local film company is reportedly planning to use Galen University’s film industry classes to make this happen. Minister Fonseca thinks it’s a great idea, but he mentioned that they need more details about the plan to figure out how the government can support it.

“It would be a good opportunity but I’d really have to see a proposal from them. We’d have to look at it and determine how that would work and how it would complement what we are already doing here in belize. Um, but certainly, um, you know we welcome opportunities for our people to  to get you know, um exposed to Areas of media and film and that sort of thing. That’s something that’s lacking um, so You know, we we would certainly in principle welcome it but we have to look at a more detailed proposal to determine if it’s something We would support.”

 

It’s an exciting prospect, and with the right backing, it could really put Belize on the map in the film industry.
