JuicyChef returns under the gazebo with her friend, top Jamaican film and music producer, Carleene Samuels of The Creative Source. Jamaica is the land of multiple stories, brilliant creatives and stunning landscapes, but why is it so hard to attract the big blockbusters? Carleene breaks it down from budget constraints and tax incentives, but despite it all, international talent are attracted to Jamaica. She has worked with major celebrities and global brands locally and internationally from music videos to documentaries and feature films as well as major concerts worldwide.  According to Carleene, "production brings the world together". In this episode, Carleene shares her story of how she became a producer and dissects the role of a producer and how they differ from directors. She showcases the varying careers available in the production world from script writing to composing music scores, set design and make up. Carleene also stresses why it's important for talent to sign up with an agency for better representation in both theatre and film. As always, food trods are a core discussion point in all episodes. The ladies discuss Carleene's food memories in Sri Lanka and Bali plus special moments around the table on the island.
