An intriguing Caribbean film featuring a love triangle, the return of an estranged father and a hero accused of match-fixing will hit Jamaica cinemas on July 11.

Hit For Six! which debuted in Barbados with a red carpet premiere and had an extremely successful five-week cinema run, boasts an all-Caribbean cast and crew, among whom are Jamaica’s own actor Lenny Salmon and award-wining photographer, Richard Lannaman. Lannaman, whose work of fame includes being director of photography in the popular Jamaican film “Third Word Cop” and the Hollywood movie “How Stella Got Her Groove Back”, was also director of photography on Hit For Six!

Jamaica-based actor/director Alwin Bully, script consultant Amba Chevannes and first assistant camera, Jeremy Rogers, are also among those doing Jamaica proud in this feature length film which is set to go international. Since its premiere in Barbados, Hit For Six! has won for Lannaman, the award of Best Cinematographer in this year’s Bridgetown Film Festival.

Writer and director Alison Saunders-Franklyn described the film as a movie which explores themes and situations which are not only Caribbean, but universal in nature.

“The hero of the movie must battle demons from his past, learn to forgive a father who abandoned him as a child, must chose the right woman and all this while pursuing his dream to be a star cricketer,” Saunders-Franklyn explained.

Jeanille Bonterre, popular MTV Tempo host, who won Best Actress in the Bridgetown Film Festival, stars in the movie as one of the love interests of lead actor Barbadian Andrew Pilgrim. Canadian-based Barbadian actress Alison Sealy-Smith stars as the mother of the hero, British based Trinidadian-born actor Rudolph Walker stars as his father, and Barbadian actress Varia Williams plays the second love interest.

The movie which also won Best Barbados Film, is being produced by Blue Waters Productions in association with Merville Lynch Productions, Creative Junction and the Caribbean Business Enterprise Trust. It is bound for regional and international distribution.
