My final dispatch from the annual genre fest known as Fantastic Fest highlights three young filmmakers, a reminder of how much this event seeks to amplify new talent. It's also a remarkable showcase for inclusivity, as the programming team seeks out and elevates the kind of voices that the Hollywood system often ignores, including LGTBQ filmmakers and artists from regions of the world that don't get highlighted enough on the culture-shaping streaming services.

Habanero Film Sales CEO Alfredo Calviño expressed that they are thrilled to discover powerful stories from emerging talent, citing 'This Island' as a compelling addition to Caribbean cinema.
