Senior sources within the Government of the Virgin Islands have confirmed that Ms. Natalie Hodge is tipped to be the new BVI Tourist Board Film Commissioner. Her appointment is expected to take effect within the coming weeks.
Ms. Hodge has served within the Government of the Virgin Islands most recently as Deputy Chief Information Officer among other roles throughout the Government.
She holds a Bachelors of Fine Arts and Master’s degrees from American Intercontinental University in Marketing, and Media Production.
The BVI Film Commission was established over 25 years ago to facilitate and encourage film productions coming into the unique Caribbean country. Since then the entire country has embraced the film fraternity and warmly welcomes an increasing number of productions each year. Many such productions are repeat guests to the BVI, with crews that the native islanders have come to know personally by name.
The BVI Film Commission also acts as a liaison between film/photography producers and all relevant Government agencies, including the Customs, Labour and Immigration Departments, National Parks Trust and the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force.
