BASSETERRE (Friday 29th January 2021) — Money-earning opportunities for about 30 workers and 200 extras are expected to boost the Nevis economy from the international production of two feature films under a deal between the Nevis Island Administration and MSR Media, a boutique production company based in York, England. Premier Mark Brantley announced the arrangement at his press conference on Thursday 28th January, noting some $1 million is expected to directly stimulate the local economy. The cast and crew of about 50 have already started arriving under strict COVID-19 protocols. “The media and the exposure for Nevis from this could be a game changer,” Brantley said. Over 20 persons including the stars had already arrived.
