Intriguing line about "the crowd that we want to attract" -- sounds a little Lincoln Douglasesque to me. And in the week that Yogi Berra died it looks like deja vu all over again.
I am waiting to hear how P-A-N fits into this economic diversification plan and BUDGET.

Morning Glory where have you been? This is Trinidad, a place where the dependency syndrome is rampant among people in the performing arts. Anthony Corbin’s point on “servicing” is worth looking into.
With access (internet-technology) to the global market-place, you are able to independently move your product and services to an international audience.
MORNING GLORY: I admire your optimism. But I have to stand in the corner with Anthony Corbin. May I remind you that we invented the PAN and we modernize the PAN and we technologize the PAN and we spread the PAN all over the world and we have the best PAN PLAYERS and TUNERS in the world and we still cannot produce a PAN CD to sell a paltry 100,000 copies and get some GLOBAL AIRPLAY.
So I don't see how we could jump into the MOVIE PRODUCTION RING and make blockbuster movies like AVATAR and TITANIC to bring in FOREIGN EXCHANGE.
The MOVIE MAKING INDUSTRY is nothing but HIGH STAKES GAMBLING!!!
With a population of 1.5 million, it will be diffcult to maintain such expensive industries
as film and fashion. If the plan is to 'service' the big international studios then there might something in it.
