Video Production on St John

There are some production companies - TV 2 does a lot of video and the local news as well - some ad agencies do video ads - the Cable TV has at least 2 different dedicated channels that do video promotions 24 hrs a day - all the wedding coordinators offer some kind of video recording and some of the tour groups,sailing,diving,parasail, etc offer video- so I think she can find a way into the field once she is on island - if you are here ahead of her start asking about - the word of mouth opportunities are often a great 1st step on such a small island.

She should contact Steve Simonsen. Google him and contact through his website.

These guys are located in St.Thomas and seem to do great work.

Hmm, somebody has been running an ad in the Daily News lately. Video Kitchen, I think is the name (which I think is weird). Google for more info.

St John has a film festival every year, and many people involved in video/movie/documentaries are involved in that organization. You have to google again for contact info.

There's a non-profit organization that was teaching video to school kids, and I'm sure they'd love to have a volunteer if they're still offering the class. Google kwanzaa365 and see if there's any info on that site. I saw the program coordinator yesterday, but didn't take her current flyer to see what was offered. She also does the 4H program through the University of the Virgin Islands, so maybe you should google that, too.

People tend to ignore email requests and are more apt to be responsive to those that are on island, as she may not be the only one with the same idea.

Ronnie's point is well taken -- I should have clarified, when I said "contact" I meant "give him a heads up now to see if he needs any help, and follow up when you are actually on island."

Lived here too long now, I'm starting to make islander assumptions that "everyone knows that." *-)

There was an ad in today's Avis for gov procurement of video production services for tourism videos.
