Bermuda and Bermudians certainly respect and understand the links between film and tourism.
The island has long been a backdrop for film production. From the 1970s filming of The Deep starring Nick Nolte and Jaqueline Bissett and National Geographic documentaries to being a host of The X Factor UK Judges Houses episodes during summer 2014 – Bermuda has worked collaboratively with the film industry.
“We look forward to greeting you with the legendary warmth of our people, and the enchanting appeal of our island. Here you will find the resources and information you need to plan your upcoming project.” www.gotobermuda.com/Filming-in-Bermuda/

This idea started a few years ago when I started watching web series online. I found myself wondering what it would be like to have a web series about some of the things I was going through at the time – being Bermudian and being abroad at university. Thus, the aptly titled ‘Bermudian at University’ was born. – Kevin Minors

Brown Suga’s Foreign Reality – Life on the go in the UK.
Brown Suga interviews a middle aged British man battling with his own mental health disorder and follows his path of recovery in a supported housing facility for adult males with mental health conditions. The documentary highlights the abnormality of the mind, the challenges, stigma, discrimination and social isolation people and family members face and how a brain disorder can affect people of all ages, genders, and races. Mental Illness Does Not Discriminate!
(For the purpose of anonymity the name and picture of the interviewee has been changed to protect his identity.)
“This is my story and journey of healing and acceptance of growing up with a father with a mental illness. I hope to bring awareness on the manifestation of symptoms both psychologically and behaviorally that affect individuals.” – Brown Suga
Relocating from Bermuda to the UK has been a life changing experience for me. This move has brought many great benefits, opportunities, and rewards but this major transition has also brought a lot of unpredictability, a hefty council tax bill, stressful periods of unemployment, long waits in the job seekers line, below freezing temperatures and the loss of a fun exercise regime that kept me slim.
Brown Suga reveals in her first Foreign Reality video the true underlining reasons for her 20 lb weight gain, highlighting the challenges, struggles, goals and triumphs of her new life in the UK her personal weight management journey and why she started a successful personal “Fit 4 Me’ program setting a goal of a minimum of 10,000 steps per week.
Excess weight is not the problem it is only symptoms of a greater problem! Now that I have recognized, accepted and adapted to my new life. I am back focused and shredding those pounds.

Mike Wilson and Bermudian Andrew Kirkpatrick have traveled to South Africa to build the most insane rope swing bungee jump. Ever. What’s a rope swing bungee jump, you ask? Well, exactly what it sounds like, only bigger. This one (the biggest ever? The first ever?) plunges 600ft straight down into the Magwa Falls gorge and and features four seconds of pure, hair-raising free fall. Sure, it’s safe, but that doesn’t mean it’s not scary as hell. Would you take the plunge?

This 5 minute clip by teen filmmaker Marquedelle Philip-Rodriguez challenges these somewhat misleading figures and brings forth a much different and harsher reality from the shadows of the Bermudian archipelago. Dark, unstable visuals accompanied by a remake of one of Bermuda’s most iconic tunes – Bermuda Is Another World – transformed through a melancholic solo piano piece reminiscent of Ryuichi Sakamoto’s “Heartbeart – Returning to the Womb,” bring home the sensation that the island is NOT a paradise for all. The sirens of ambulances, shocking newspaper headlines with previsions of doom, spiraling violence, the homeless, industrial disputes, astronomical prices …
It is the island of Bermuda of which we speak – A place once so fantastically unique and yet it is transforming right before our eyes as it connects with the world and becomes globalized. We are the future – Marquedelle Philip-Rodriguez
This video intends to demonstrate the social and cultural impact of globalization in Bermuda and was shown at the United Nations International School Conference.
Hubert Smith wrote Bermuda Is AnotherWorld (the unofficial anthem for the island) in 1969 for the Bermuda Department of Tourism’s North American & United Kingdom marketing campaign. The tune was also used for The Bermuda Tourism Department’s “So Much More” Campaign launched August 16th, 2012 at the Fairmont Southampton Princess Hotel.
