I’m a “Fixer” - and I make cool stuff! Having worked in the media industry for over 20 years, I've managed many successful digital campaigns incorporating digital video content, social media and online advertising as well as traditional media to create recognisable brand imaging, impressive analytics and produced and directed several advertising award spots along the way. My extensive creative bac

kground coupled with extensive technical training and experience in video and audio content development make my skill set particularly unique. The biggest, most successful notable project as the local producer and production manager for a recent big budget Warner Brothers reality show for Sky TV UK and Netflix Worldwide, speaks to my ability to handle large scale, multi-faceted projects with great attention to detail in a large team setting. As a registered, licensed and fully insured professional drone pilot for the last 3 years, I have logged well over 450 UAV flights and 100 hours flying and filming all over the Caribbean region, in challenging conditions (when absolutely necessary) - including flying a DJI Inspire 2 drone for the live international broadcast for the 2019 CPL T20 Tournament across the Caribbean and South America for India’s largest professional UAV/drone company, Quidich, Mount Gay Rum, Cobblers Cove and Eco Lodge hotels, as well as research/scouting for international production companies. I’m currently studying to obtain my part 107 FAA certification, but am already well versed in proper drone regulations and practices. Having founded and established my media production company Crucial Productions as one of Barbados’ leaders in digital content production and secured its place at the top of all SEO searches in its categories, I can bring this same level of success and competence to others. I am extremely creative, technical and personable with a passion for learning and an attention to detail; my unique vision allows me to see various market segments to which a product or service may appeal and I have the ability to reach those audiences successfully. I’ve devoted my career to creating high quality media, fostering brand recognition and growth while positively impacting revenues via engaging digital content. I'm passionate about my work. Did I mention I love my job?!

Had a great time speaking with the ’s group about the real-world side of film and television production. Thanks to for making the connection and inviting me!

We talked about how creative careers evolve, what it takes to sustain one over time, and how being adaptable - and sometimes wearing many hats, keeps you moving forward.

The group came ready with sharp questions and real curiosity about the work behind the camera. It’s always inspiring to see that kind of enthusiasm from the next generation of storytellers.

If you’re interested in building a creative career that lasts, start by saying yes to opportunities that challenge you.

Save a life - travel with a pup! Anyone returning to Canada from Barbados in the next couple weeks that can take one of these sweet pups back with them in the cabin? All paperwork logistics and fees covered, you just have to pup-sit on the plane and hand them over when you arrive. This is an amazing initiative by 🐶🐕

When creatives come together, magic happens. What started as video shoot with as talent and on makeup, ended up being an impromptu performance that stopped everyone in their tracks. Piano on set? Say no more. I love my creative friends!

So great meeting up with these Caribbean film pros during TIFF week. The future of Caribbean filmmaking is in good hands. 🙌

Toronto International Film Festival officially begins tomorrow. Barbados Film & Television Association President Jamal Slocombe and Chief Executive Officer Benjamin Henry caught up earlier with regional filmmakers on the ground, including Canada-based Barbadian producer and fixer Phil Archer, as well as Bahamian director Lavado Stubbs.

In the coming days, they will also participate in a series of official plenary meetings with key sectoral leads, focusing on critical areas such as distribution, market access, and co-production opportunities.

Slocombe and Henry are the only two Barbadians included in the official delegation, and among a small contingent representing the wider Caribbean.

Dear Facebook, if any of you know me, you know of my career dream and goal to work solely in documentary filmmaking. (I’ve worked on a few episodic doc series but no features.)
Telling important stories and informing the public is one way to highlight important issues and help change the world.

Well, this project is my first step in that direction, as it’s the first full length documentary feature I’m working as a producer on.
Please have a read and if so inclined, donate to help ᴜs tell this important story. Thank you.

Dear friends, community, chosen family. I am reaching out to you b… Olya Glotka needs your support for Environmental Documentary about the Kakhovka dam breach
