Despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the local entertainment industry is still making its mark globally, with films such as
Sweet Rind striking it big on the international stage. A local production, it recently picked up some seven film festival awards.
The short film – directed by Andre Wynter and starring Sherando Ferril, who plays the role Elsie and Kadeem Wilson, Algie – centres around a pastor’s daughter seeking revenge on her sister’s killer, who had also scammed her father’s life savings, leading to his death from a heart attack. The movie follows her quest for justice in her father’s unfinished church basement in Kingston, Jamaica.
