Silhouette is a media company which produces creative audiovisual products that are authentically Caribbean yet are of international quality standards. The objective of the business is to consistently produce content that stands apart from the competition as it pertains to original concepts and production value. The Managing Director, Darnel Kendal John, recruits the most talented and diligent crew to ensure consistently outstanding product.
Silhouette will produce television commercials, music videos, documentaries and feature length films within budgetary requirements at international quality standards.
The dearth of high quality Caribbean centered audiovisual programmes and productions is being tackled head on by Silhouette. St. Lucians and Caribbean people are now eager to see themselves in the media. They want to be in the commercials, documentaries and narrative films that are being viewed in the region. Caribbean people in the diaspora are especially thirsty for such products to connect them to their countries of origin.
Silhouette’s solution to this problem is to create high quality, Caribbean-centered audiovisual material that is both entertaining and informative to this large Caribbean community that has been mostly ignored for a long time.
