Nassau, Bahamas - CC Sweeting students got an inside look at moviemaking and the film industry when Bahamas Film & Television Commissioner Craig Woods explained the business and how the Bahamas benefits from it.   The talk was part of the professional speaker circuit organized by the Ministry of Tourism & Aviation for National Careers Month, which will be observed throughout October.  

The event also gave the students a chance to view clips of movies recently filmed in the Bahamas, including Into the Blue, After the Sunset, Casino Royale and Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man’s Chest.
