Great article: "It seeks to register all film production, foreign and local, which are shooting in Belize, and it will serve as the film company’s liaison with government, by helping to clear work permits, visa waivers and duty-free concessions."

NICH is eyeing Cayo for the Belize Film Festival.  Cahal Pech might be the new location from now on.  Makes sense to have it in the prettiest part of the country.
