Despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the local entertainment industry is still making its mark globally, with films such as
Sweet Rind striking it big on the international stage. A local production, it recently picked up some seven film festival awards.
The short film – directed by Andre Wynter and starring Sherando Ferril, who plays the role Elsie and Kadeem Wilson, Algie – centres around a pastor’s daughter seeking revenge on her sister’s killer, who had also scammed her father’s life savings, leading to his death from a heart attack. The movie follows her quest for justice in her father’s unfinished church basement in Kingston, Jamaica.
A quick glance at the life of actor Kadeem Wilson will show he is far from the rough persona he plays in the gritty movie Ghett A Life and most recently in Sprinter .
Wilson, 29, who hails from the inner-city community of Franklyn Town, St Andrew, is described as family-oriented and filled with good cheer. The actor always anticipates the Christmas season, as it allows him to spend time with his extended family who he does not see regularly.
Typically, he celebrates Christmas by himself, as most of his relatives live overseas. But he said last Christmas was his
Christmas I ll Never Forget as his extended family gathered to spend time with his great-grandmother, Esmin Dixon Mills.
