Dear LIAT, May I say how considerate it is of you to enable your passengers such an in-depth and thorough tour of the Caribbean.Most other airlines I have travelled on would simply wish to take me from point A to B in rather a hurry.At the age of ten, TV producer Chris Smith claimed his parents’ video camera and used it to make a lot of home movies and even a fake television call-in show.“I recorded callers using fake voices,” says Smith.“We also tried blowing stuff up but it wasn’t always as successful as we wanted it to be.” In high school, he made more video projects.One of which was a parody of “Star Wars” and “Les Miserables,” with literary figures thrown in for good measure.
And as for being patted down by a variety of islanders, well, I feel as if I've been hugged by most of the Caribbean already.“So we had Obi-Wan Emerson fighting Darth Thoreau,” says Smith.“I played both parts.” Nonetheless, Smith remained conflicted about a career choice.Smith earned a film/video degree on a full scholarship from the University of Maryland, Baltimore campus. His film was eventually shown at film festivals in San Francisco, Pasadena, Toronto, New Orleans, and Athens, Greece.He saw Ron Perlman at one of the festivals and heard Richard Dreyfuss give a talk at another.
