Owen Bethel, local organizer of the event as President of Bahamas FilmInvest International, indicated that he was pleased ?with the inclusion in this edition of the film, ?Rain?, produced in The Bahamas by local filmmaker, Maria Govan. While the film and filmmaker may already be well-known in The Bahamas, the selection of the film as a part of the Showcase means that Ms. Govan?s talent and story are now given additional exposure throughout the Caribbean. In time it is hoped that this will lead to the development of co-productions among filmmakers throughout the region, and the creation of stories on the screen that depict our common experiences and which have universal value and appeal.?
