Fiji’s Film Industry has a long way to go says Film Fiji chief executive Dallas Foon.

Foon says over the years, with the submissions of short films by schools for the Kula Film Awards, they have realized that there are many talented actors in the country.

He says this year 42 secondary schools took part in the Kula Film production which is promising.

“We hope that you join our industry as aspiring film makers to get into and continue to grow this wonderful industry that is moving at a rapid rate.”

Foon says students who have been part of their schools film production have also worked with foreign film makers and have done really well.

He encouraged students to enrol in film school and make the most of the opportunities provided.
