We hung out with Floyde in March 2020 - he is an amazing man and is a treasure to Jamaica. We love St. Elizabeth Parish - lots of Canadian friends there that have built big homes, (even though we Winter in Ocho Rios, we have see every part of JA). Jake's at Treasure Beach, Parrottee & Black River are all spectacular. Congratulations to all that are involved in this Film Festival! Much Love & Peace! Wah Gwaan Jamaica!
WOW...Very Awesome. Black River and Floyde's Pelican Bar has been on my wife and my "Bucket List" for 10-Years. We are hoping to get there in 2025. Too bad we can't make it for the Film Festival.
--Awesome collaboration Dr. Ava Brown. My good good friend. I am honored to be selected as the USA Ambassador. For The Black River Festival happening June 28-30th in St.Elizabeth Jamaica. See everyone there, the line up is crazzzzyyyyy!!!
Yes...seagrapes can be eaten 😁 those looked a bit young though...perhaps will be ripe by the time of the festival 😁 Pelican Bar is by Black River side...not by downtown but by Parottee, district of Black River Crane Rd to Parottee is Black River's hip strip...some of the largest parties are kept here, a stretch of beach double the length of 7 miles, some nice villas and more to come, etc
I'm happy it's going to be black River,my friend and l always wonder about why is black River is neglected by the government and developers. I am from Thornton and l hope this is the start to major development. Good job, bravo, bravo.
Thanks for being part of the team that makes it a reality and what will be talked about as an EPIC even. Guys , if you need great PR and marketing check her out.
So awesome y'll could meet each other. Looking forward to see great exposure and support for the Black River Film Festival to continue to grow and bring more to such a historic seaport capital of many 1sts that is Black River in the heart of the breadbasket and mecca in southcoast tourism in Jamaica that is St. Elizabeth which in itself in general as a parish also holds a number of records. So many stories here, so many places to go, so many places to see, so many things to do and so much to enjoy.
Wow ! I wish I knew About this before! This will be on my bucket list for 2025 #Lovesign Black River holds so many precious and beautiful memories for me! Hopefully 🙏 I’ll record a song 🎵 that sheds more light on it! 🇯🇲🌎
Big up, yuhself Irina, I met you in Blackriver. I was with Fire Reid. I wish I could have been there for the Film Festival. Thanks for showcasing the event. One Love Irina

I am a ST Elizabethian who went to primary school in Black River I love my Parish way to go St Best so sorry I will not be able to make it to the Film festival this time all power to the organisor(s) wishing you success blessed love always❤
Wow Irina " my most recent trip to Jamdung was 1999 : we stayed at Ital-rest Treasure beach" but we didn't know Floyds pelican bar!?.. Awesome ::.. also I was born in Montego bay ' but never knew - Black River had such interesting Colonial - era Architecture " which seems more interesting than Falmouth!!.. anyhow ' we've got pelican bar added to our" wish list " for our next visit* thanks to your Vlog.
I’ve never been to Black River. My dad’s side of my family is from St. Elizabeth, but I’ve never been there. I really need to go there. I’m putting Floyde’s Pelican Bar on my list of places to visit on my next trip to JA.
Me just luv this idea and this lady so well spoken God bless St Bess #community tourism- a prototype event for other parishes to implement-oh no crocodiles puhlese.
That’s a wonderful thing for Black River. The venue looks very good. When the new highway is completed Black River and the south west coast will be hopping. Black River is very historical. Thanks for your videos. ❤. 😂.
@@dr.avaeaglebrownauthortrai1993 Born in Kingston JA but now living in Sweden for 27 years. Do like 👍 your project in black river and hope someday to visit there.
@donovanSMMsvlog1583 nice I have been to Norway, Germany, France, Cyprus, Spain, Poland, Italy, Cyprus, Belgium, Holland etc but not Sweden and am an Ikea girl .
I applaud the move that you’re making.. as far as highlighting Black River. I am not sure about the location on the beach though. Electronics does not play well with Sand and Sea Water. Black River independence Park would have been the perfect location.
Please, politicians sort out Black River town, so hugely neglected when it has so much to offer- steep in history. Install some receptacles for the disposal of 🗑. Floyde, whatever you do, DO NOT sell that gem💎! Don't be a conduit for history repeating itself.
there are quite a few airbnbs in the area, please check them out - simply go to airbnb.com and select black river on the map to see what's nearby. There is also Jake's hotel, it's in Treasure Beach, but it's rather close as well.
Movies about “gender issues” to show the audience what film makers are producing? I hope they’re not rolling in some WOKE drama about a boy who is “really” a girl. Jamaica is one of the few countries that hasn’t been completely saturated this garbage. It’s probably a Canadian film. 🙈
the world we live in... when people hear "gender issues" they no longer think about the struggles teenagers face during puberty depending on their gender, or the discrimination people have to face due to having "gender roles" forced on them (aka "woman can't be an engineer", "man cannot be a ballet dancer"). Instead, the world today thinks of "gender issues" as the concept of "transgender issues" only.

Independent Park is HOT and lacks the vision we have.
we'll see how it works out in the end, but the beach is nice and breezy
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIEI like u to do a story of d jamaican railway system
Sea Grapes can be eaten but it has to be a ruby red color then you'll know it's ripe.
Sea grapes u can eat them when they are purple my grandpa give me when I was a child

Yes seagrapes can be eaten
You need a live Band there I guess
But if she's a Saint Best girl or any Jamaica, she should know that sea grapes can definitely eat. It taste great, that's Jamaica grapes
she spent way too many years outside of Jamaica, so I guess that's the reason )

We will not be doin any such.
Good point. I caught that line too about ‘gender issues’ and thought ‘oh no’
the world we live in... when people hear "gender issues" they no longer think about the struggles teenagers face during puberty depending on their gender, or the discrimination people have to face due to having "gender roles" forced on them (aka "woman can't be an engineer", "man cannot be a ballet dancer"). Instead, the world today thinks of "gender issues" as the concept of "transgender issues" only.
You crazy!
