The new Jamaican movie starring Dominican Germina Jno-Baptiste got the go ahead at the Arawak House Of Culture to hold the prestigious movie premier of Hated 2 Death on 30th December 2011.
Junior Hart CEO and Director said that he is delighted that the movie will get its second showing in the beautiful Island of Dominica, the home of Germina Jno Baptiste.
“Collywood will be going all out to make this a movie event Dominica have never seen before,” Hart said. “We are looking to give away FREE DVDs of the movie trailer so people can get a sneak preview of the quality and style of the movie. Collywood will be using a marketing tactic called gorilla marketing, never seen before in the Caribbean.”
Hart developed his Gorilla film making and marketing in Africa eight years ago.
“Judging by the response, we may have to put on another two to three dates,” Hart noted. “This is going to be a great night out leading up to New Year and what better way to enjoy the festive season. We are looking to capture the best dress for the BBC documentary that will be filmed for the BBC which we are looking to complete for the next year Olympics in London 2012.”
On the night Collywood will be looking to invite the cream of Dominican entertainers to join Germina Jno Baptiste on this historic moment celebrating her achievement of the first Dominican to play a lead part on the big screen.
The premier will be on 30th December 2011 at the Arawak House of Culture. Show starts 7.30 pm sharp. Tickets are priced at $20 in advance and $30 at the door. People can reserve their tickets online from now through the Collywood website www.collywoodcinemas.com and pay at the door when they arrive on the night.
There will also be a ticket texting service to be released soon, this service enable you to text and reserve tickets and pay at the box office on arrival.
“We are utilising the mobile phone and internet as a tool for people to reserve and purchase their tickets. This in itself makes life easy and cuts down on paper tickets” Steve Boyle, head of market, said.

Coolywood, a word of advice to you.
I understand your feelings when you are being bombarded with what you consider negative talk. In any business where you deal with humans (especially consumers) who are by and large not experts in the field you are going to get a fair degree of thak kind of talk. Being a marketing professional (I assume you are), you have to be able to take that negative feedback and identify the positives that could come out of it. That makes you better since you are trying to capture the very people who you consider to be negative.
I have dealth with marketing people for a very long time and believe me, they do want the negative feedback. That tells them they have more work to do to reach a broader market.
The responses I have seen from you seem to be from a very sensitive person who has trouble dealing with people who only pats you on the back.
Very often people who give you negative feedback are not your enemy. Thay are actually very interested parties who are giving you very valuable information.
The people who you should be more concerned about are those who stay on the sidelines and say nothing and will ignore your project.
Negative feedback is not always a bad think. All you need to do is look for the positive in the “negative’
Best of luck on your project. We need more Caribbean people doing things to reflect our culture. Kudos to you and the gang.
Sorry Collywood, the above post was mine (We the people). I mistakenly used your name where it did not belong.
Well said and to that I will add that his gun should be replace with a batten. Lol
Our CEO Junior Hart would love to meet with you if you are based in Dominica. He will be coming to the Island next week. He found your comment very interesting when it forwarded to him. If happen to check this site again. Our direct email is [email protected]..do get in touch
regards
Steve Boyle
I think you all need to re-think the date of the premiere as a lot of Dominicans are somewhat religious and go to church on that night. But as you also stated there may be other possible dates of showing. Please consider this greatly as to allow more people to veiw the movie. All the support to my girl Germina.
It not December 31st
Knock the company ..I bet if they were offering you a job, you would be up there cap in hand. You have got to be a wind up…as nothing you are saying makes in relevence to the event to come.
If “nothing you are saying makes in relevence to the event to come.” Why then the CEO of Collywood want to see us and not you.
Hey ///@ who is the female Dominican in how she moves is playing lead role please? Becuase I know that Tre Armstrong is Canadian nationality. Please tell us.
Helloooooooooooo! can I ask what is the real issue here? GERMINA JNO BAPTISTE, YOU ARE A STAR BABY. WELL DONE AND f*** these low minded fools. DO YOUR THING GIRL, BIG UP AND NUFF RESPECT. LET THE CHICKENS SQUAWK AMOMNGS THEMSELVES WHILE YOU THE EAGLE FLY ABOVE THEM. I saw the movie in Jamaica down in Black River…wicked wicked stuff. I am over here till New Year…I will be at the Arawak to see it again….wicked movie!!!!
Thats me, peace up.
This girl has achieved great things for the little Island of Dominica. She is the 1st female to PLAY a LEAD role ON THE BIG SCREEN (movie) not Television, there has been other Dominicans in TV such as Roosie Richards in Young and restles (NOT THE BIG SCREEN) Miss Cooke in All my Children (NOT LEAD) yes there has been other actors mainly male on the big screen (Henry Wilcoxan)NOT A LEAD ROLE IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS who by the way was a white man and he didn’t exactly flaunt it around Hollywood that he was from Dominica. You have to question was this the reason becuase of the skin colour he reached great hights in Hollywood. Well Germina is black and like Obama she has broken through….Go girl, as a dominican I am very proud. Big up. That person with the ///@ name PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ALL OF US HERE ON DNO AND TELL US OF THE PERSON OR PERSONS THAT IS COMES FROM DOMINICA OR IN DOMINICA WHO HAS PLAYED A LEADING ROLE (I say this again and take note properly, becuae it seems you are now going into racist stupidy about small Island which I don’t think if that was the case this Company would not be bothered about coming here and doing the great work they intend doing) PLEASE TELL WHICH DOMINICAN FEMALE HAS PLAYED A LEADING ROLE..NOT SUPPORT ON TV OR THE BIG SCREEN..LEADING ROLE (DUMB HEAD) Lets see if you can come off your militant mind and answer the question.
(AMAZING-SOME MOTHERS DO HAVE THEM)
If only you had done your home work. Check link and go buy the locale produced DVD It Only Takes One. https://dominicanewsonline.com/news/all-news/entertainment/local-movie-set-to-launch/
Thank you DNO for deleting my responses and thus silencing our history on the Silver Screen. If you delete some while not all????
DNO did the right thing…you are a Dumb a** boy. Well done DNO. This person has some serious issues and clearly don’t know his history as far as the movies is concerned.
Keep deleting the idiots DNO
I love this…so what you are saying, all the haters come from the 80% losers group? ah ah word up. I don’t dare say anything. WELL DONE GERMINA AND I WILL BE THERE TO SEE THAT MOVIE BOyyyyyy.
Big up!
Why is it that 80% of the population are always struggling to make ens meet and 20% are the wealthy..becuase the 80% is made up of fools like Caribbean Lady. The 20% is made up of people like the owner of Collywood…visionairies. Just food for thought..so if you are struggling to make ends meet, just remember the 80% group who are negative in everything they do.
Without the 80% the 20% is nothing since the 100% is made up by adding both numbers. Read some Hegel on the dialectic on the master and salve relationship.
If we as Dominicans aimed to be in the 80% bracket then all of us would be well off and the country would flourish. Thats what the guy is saying. AHHHH this guy is a proper jerk lol. Where are u from bro? cant be living in Dominica.
Oh my god, I don’t believe this ongoing discussion. I have been following this and what a load of rubbish. I am a struggling actress in Dominica for years. I have been trying to get work in the profession to no avail. When I heard about these Collywood people and what they are doing, I was so pleased..finally I said in my mind, someone is doing it. Making Caribbean proper ongoing caribbean movies..and they want to come and invest in talents in Dominica…GOD BLESS JUNIOR HART AND HIS COMPANY. I will be going to the premier, you will get my 100% support, becuase if we give support, then success for the Island will be 10 fold where other Dominicans can come aboard this train. Germina, you have started a wonderful thing, you have open a door that wikll help other actresses like me to excel. Thank you my dear and god bless and I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart. Don’t worry about these losers on here…thats all they are just losers and posers.
SEE YOU AT THE PREMEIR, AND I WILL BE GETTING YOUR AUTOGRAPH.
u people need to get the real deal of this whole the matter should nt be the name.the real deal is that we have one of our own stepping up in the big world we need to congratulate the young woman for her success.
we should look at this as a stepping stop for dominica.hey maybe in the furture we can have more of our own in this industry.it could be you
At Last a positive mind with the right outlook has been injected into this. I am astounished with small minded people, yes I say small minded, becuase here is something all Dominican should be proud of…this person who came on here and started wondering about the name….why did he not in the same breath turn and say…WELL DONE GERMINA FOR BEING THE FIRST DOMINICAN WOMAN TO PLAY A LEAD ROLE IN A MOVIE. THIS WE ARE PROUD OF AND THANK YOU COLLYWOOD FOR OPENING A DOOR THAT WILL CREATE AND HELP MORE DOMINICANS TO ENTER THE MOVIE WORLD AND CREATE EMPLOYMENT FOR US.
Our CEO Junior Hart instructed that as marketing, certain people will need top be educated as their minds are small and will miss the point of all this…God was he right GAURRILLA, GORRILLA??? does it matter? What does matter is THERE IS A BIG MOVIE PREMEIR WITH THE 1ST EVER DOMINICAN TO PLAY LEAD ON THE BIG SCREEN ON 30TH DEC 2011 AT THE ARAWAK HOUSE OF CULTURE. For all the Haters on this site..you cannot and will not be able to stop this train…it’s bigger than you. The right people like this lady will support it becuase her mind is positive..the negative people will always be sitting on the wall acting as critics and trying to find any little thing to talk about…ITS ALL NONESENSE. WAKE UP IT A NEW AGE..COLLYWOOD WILL MAKE FILMS IN DOMINICA WITH DOMINICANS AND YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT. WE ARE HERE PEOPLE. Bless

Collywood Head of marketing
“THERE IS A BIG MOVIE PREMIER WITH THE 1ST EVER DOMINICAN TO PLAY LEAD ON THE BIG SCREEN ON…” This not a fact and stop trying to silence our accomplishment on the Big Screen. Check your records and will and come again. Go see how she moves. We have been on the Silver Screen for sometime now, so before you start making your bold statement do your home work. I also ask of you to stop trying to racialize us with your small mind = small island mentality syndrome.
We DO NOT HATE you as you know for a fact that Dominicans are GOD loving people. We only pointed out some consistences in your message and had you done you research on our culture you would have known they we are very critical minded. Nothing personal bro as we are all in this together we just want to see the best and nothing less.
20% group. This gal is positivvvvve
Guest what Vybzing in a Democracy society the majority rule which will be the 80% but the -10% of your kind are placed within a place without a space and thus muted by the 100%.
GAURRILLA,Gorilla or Guerrilla! Steve, Tony or whoever, some say it’s guerrilla, you say it’s gorilla and your website says it’s gaurrilla. Tomato, tomatoe, potato, potatoe.
Which one is it?
You guys crack me up lol…this is reslly important topis of conversation. WILL U BE COMING TO THE SHOW
Please don’t slate me for spelling topic wrong.
Why and for what are we paying $20-$30 when we know for a fact the cinema of choice is incapable of rendering the “true artistic vision” of the film. No Hi Def 1080p, Dolby 1.5 much less 1.7 sound. I would suggest that you charge $10.00 and screen the film on the Jumbo tron in the stadium. That way you can maximize your $$$$ investment and more people will have a chance to see the screening in this hard econ times. Yes, I can see the $30. for a copy of the DVD but NOT for a screening at a venue that will not allow one the see the “true artistic vision” of the film. Come on Steve it is nothing personal but you know where I am coming from and you know better so do the right thing.

Marketing 101 state that the key to any successful marketing campaign is consistency. Therefore, the text on your site and on your distribution material have to be the same. Nike is Nike everywhere and anywhere you see Nike.
Words are easy bro..what are you doing for the race apart from shooting your mouth off with high end suggestions. How comes you are not showing movies or doing something to enhance Dominica. Typical mouth..as they say empty barrels makes the most noise.lol
Do you know that there is a place call Beverly Hills in Dominica? Yes my Boy they also produce and screen movies there too. Bro not everything is on google you know sometime you must talk to the elders before you post and research your history as it through history that we become subject and made silence.

80% group.
What a fraud for these people to say that they invented gorilla marketing, doing this first in Dominica. That is not true. Also, the way they are talking as if people need to rush to get free DVDs is as if it is such a big secret and as if people have time to waste. We are an advanced society in Dominica. Just stop playing around and place the trailer on social media such as Youtube and Facebook. You can give away free ones for those who still are back in the DVD stage but most of us young people want to watch it on our phones. Get with the times.
I wish you guys all the best but you have to come better than that as if people will line up for your trailer DVDs because you said it is FREE. We are more sophisticated than that. Good luck with your work. I will try to come to see it.
We are with the times…would u like the trailer on GP technology for your mobile phone? no problem..we will also be doing that with the movie..by the way, we are the first BLACK MOVIE COMPANY TO HAVE THIS..So don’t don’t run ahead of yourself young man. We do not consider Dominica behind no times. Take care.
Bless
I think your phrase is out of context…please look up the meaning of fruad..ot is that just a street slang sir. I was not aware that we are commiting fraud by giving away something free. Please enlighten me. Also what has sophistication have to do with this..not everybody in DM has a BB or well up on the lates £GP technology..by the way if you wish to discuss further into 3GP technology, I would be happy to show my level of sophistication in this field. If yiou ask your grandmother who is not up wit the lates technology or the older generation..you will find that they will be happy with DVD’s..my man, it takes all people to make a world..but your young so I hope you can learn.
Take care
Steve

Oh dear I suppose I will be slated for making typo errors lol
Please tell me which Caribbean film production have the technology to put films on your phone sir….the Caribbean don’t even have a movie industry much less. I would love for you to send me any info. Stop slating and get with it..stop being negative. If you want to check out the trailer on youtube no probs we have all that and adverstising will be done on 3GP for mobiles in Dominica, THE FIRST EVER FOR A CARIBBEAN MOVIE…PLEASE CHALLANGE ME ON THAT ONE AS WELL. and DVD’s freebies. Bless
COLLYWOOD WILL BE RELEASING THE HATED TO DEATH MOVIE TRAILER FOR VIEWING ON MOBILE PHONES IN DOMINICA LEADING UP TO THE PREMEIR, PEOPLE WILL BE BE ABLE TO SEE THE TRAILER AS THE BUZZ TAKES TO THE STREET. PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO TRANSFER IT FROM THEIR PHONES TO THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. SO KEEP AN EYE OUT.
AS YOU CAN SEE WE ARE LISTENING TO YOUR COMMENTS.
respect
What took you so long. We still waiting on the answers to ////@ posting. LOL
the changing of guerilla to gorilla is not new to me… and let me tell u why… we saw in 02-03 the introduction to the mainstream of rapper 50 cent and his guerilla unit… yes this was the original wording… guerilla.. a fighter of rights… revolutionary… but NO!!! the label heads and managers at interscope who u guessed were white… didn’t like the look and sound of that… the fact of unleashing some ‘guerillas’ on the music industry is too radical and ‘independent’.. so guess what.. they had 50 cent change it to Gorilla Unit… yes gorilla… apes… animals.. primates… whatever u describe them as… oh and don’t forget ‘racist’ people call black people gorilla… so collywood i really appreciate the effort and what u all try to accomplish… we welcome u all in dominica… but please don’t act like the change from guerilla to gorilla is just ‘allu’ choice… u all want to appeal to the hollywood crowd of course… so u use the gorilla instead… wouldn’t want the spielbergs and swazenneggars to think u all unleashing some guerillas on them to hijack their industry… but why do we have to bend over and get f***** beats me
Changing the word as you say has nothing to to do with appealing to the Hollywood crowd. Our movies are not geared toward that market. Please take time to have a look at the Collywood Loggo and you will see why the name is spelt in that way. I dont want get pulled into any political nonesense or what appeals to who…Collywood is making movies for Caribbean and African people. Any other nationalities who enjoy our work, all the better, but we are not aiming to please the Hollywood executives…they don’t own us. Our CEO Junior Hart decided on a Loggo for his company and that is it really..simply. Collywood is completely independent and do not get funded from anywhere…in fact they turned down our CEO years ago for funding..so he decided to go it alone and pay for everything out of his own pocket.
Sometime as a race we tend to major in minor things instead of concentrating on the MAJOR ISSUES. Bless
You still did not answer my question, Will you be attending the premier on the 30th Dec?
Hey mouth, why so sensitive?I prefer a gorilla to a guerilla anytime. If some of our people want to play up to stereoptye I can only shake my head. As for Schwarzenegger (…yep, that’s how you spell it) he does not even count. Stay cool brother and go and see the movie anyway.
Amen ma brother..Amen. Thats the bottom line, go see the film.

I am a Dominican married to a Jamaican, and we will also be there.
Also, I have no problem with accepting anything free.
Ahem…No we spell it Gorilla, thats our own style, we lead, we dont follow..thanks anyway. Bless
Ahem… I think rather than “gorilla marketing”, Mr. Hart actually meant “guerrilla marketing.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerrilla_marketing)
