Landing in the Bahamas!

Just as I landed in the Bahmas I was sprung into action. 

I had to find my way to Harbour Island. After getting off the plane in North Eleuthrea. I had to figure out how to get to Harbour Island. First I was surrounded by taxi's drivers all waiting for their next fare.  After finding a taxi and taking it to the docs I took a ferry-taxi over to Harbour Island - The friendlies island in the Bahamas.

Next Step was finding the hotel.  I stepped off the and looked at my new desitnation. My hotel was right across the way. It was an island where everywhere was walking distance.

After finding my way to the Pink Sands resort. I was introduce to a variety of filmakers and some of the mentors... I watched a few films that evening and headed in.

The Next day meeting with the mentors and talking about diffrent strategies of marketing yourself and your script was an excellent sessions with everyone involved.

After that, watching far more films including one starring Roger Guenveur Smith - and meeting him in person.  I also got to meet Chaz Elbert which was a very special treat. She gave me some great feedback on my practice pitch.
