Broadcasting minister Shaun Woodward and Del Crooks, Jamaica's film commissioner, recntly publicised the deal, in which they will encourage UK film makers to participate in joint activities.
"The deal represents a new dimension to film production in Jamaica where practitioners from both the UK and Jamaica will be encouraged to become more active and have access to incentives if they use services from the Jamaican film industry," said Crooks.
