Nevis is making significant strides in establishing itself as a premier destination for the film industry, with the recent completion of an international romance feature film produced by OCTET Productions. The project, which wrapped up filming on the island, highlights Nevis’ scenic beauty and growing local talent pool. Premier Mark Brantley, the Minister of Tourism, emphasized the island’s commitment to fostering a thriving film sector during a press conference. He expressed pride in the active participation of local actors and crew members, who have contributed to the authentic portrayal of Nevisian culture. The film, titled ‘St. Kissed,’ showcases iconic locations such as Chrishi Beach, the Four Seasons Resort, and the historic Hamilton Estate ruins. Premier Brantley thanked OCTET Productions’ co-founders, Chuck and Bree West, for choosing Nevis and expressed optimism about future collaborations. The Wests, based in Washington, DC, praised the island’s welcoming community and stunning landscapes, which played a key role in their decision to film there. This initiative is part of Nevis’ broader strategy to diversify its economy and position itself as a hub for creative industries, building on previous successes with international productions like MSR Media’s nine films and appearances in ‘The Real Housewives of Potomac.’
