About the British Virgin Islands Film Commission

The BVI Film Commission was established over 25 years ago to facilitate and encourage film productions coming into the unique Caribbean country. Since then, the entire country has embraced the film fraternity and warmly welcomes an increasing number of productions each year. Many such productions are repeat guests to the BVI, with crews that the native islanders have come to know personally by name.
