He stated that the construction of the studio will attract the international film community. “…In addition, government in 2019, will pursue the passing of a Legislative Instrument to establish a Secretariat for the National Film Authority” and will also facilitate the construction of an ultra-modern Film Production Studio to attract the international film community,” he stated. He also added that government is still awaiting parliamentary assent to establish the Creative Arts Fund. “Mr. Speaker, the Creative Arts Industry Bill is now in Parliament for deliberation and passage into Law.
