“We welcome the excellent news of various films being produced in Nevis. This industry is increasingly important to the economy of Nevis and we continue to partner with MSR Media to grow this sector while also encouraging other film companies to consider Nevis for their film-making needs.”

MSR Media’s action crime thriller “The Island”, starring Michael Jai White, Jackson Rathbone, Edoardo Costa, and Gillian White, is in post-production while “Black Noise” is presently being filmed on Nevis.
