Kurse a di Xtabai Movie Review

Kurse a di Xtabai Movie Review | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Kurse a di Xtabai, the movie made in Cayo earlier this year, is making its second round through Belize.  Here's the San Pedro Sun's review from when it was shown at the Paradise Theater on Ambergris Caye.  Matthew Klinck and Make-Belize Films are gearing up to shoot the next movie, 'Rice and Beans,' next month.  

 

"Put simply, the movie featured first-time actors, so the acting could certainly use a bit of polish.  But still, for the first time ever in front of the camera, the young men and women certainly did well.  The soundtrack was beautiful, featuring the Garifuna drums and melodies, Maya sounds by Pablo Collado and more.  The setting, of course, was a great one – not that I’m biased or anything."
