(SOAP OPERA)


It promises to be HOT and SPICY just like a Mexican telenovela and it will all be filmed in San Pedro Ambergris Caye. Production has already started on the island's first soap opera (telenovela in Spanish) that will be called "La Isla Bonita". Auditions for starring roles already took place this past weekend, Saturday, September 7, 2013.

From the creator of the movie "2012: Kurse A Di Xtabai" that was a huge success in Belize, comes the next installment of Make-Belize Films as Director/Producer Matthiew Klinck takes on the task of promoting the film industry in Belize with a telenovela/soap opera full of love, suspense, drama, humor and all what makes a telenovela so addictive to watch.

"San Pedro, Ambergris Caye is the perfect setting for a telenovela (soap opera), a beautiful tropical island filled with intrigue, passion and secrets," comments Klinck on the telenovela's Facebook Page. He tells Ambergris Today that this new project is a continuation of Make-Belize Films providing training in the film industry and promoting the country as a potential hub of movie development in the region.

I'm a bit confused as to how including drug trafficking in the storyline serves to promote the island.
