Meet Louric Rankine, a Brooklyn-born filmmaker and creative producer with roots in Jamaica and Saint Kitts and Nevis. Passionate about storytelling as a tool for representation and social transformation, Louric is helping to shape a new generation of diverse and globally relevant narratives.
Currently pursuing an MFA in Creative Producing at Columbia University, Louric has been recognised with the Arthur Krim Memorial Award, Sarah Jones Production Safety Award, and Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Screenplay Award. His professional experience includes work with Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount, FilmNation Entertainment, and DISH Media.
This July, Louric will bring his latest film, Melody Heals the Soul, to Saint Kitts and Nevis for production. The project reflects his commitment to meaningful storytelling while creating opportunities to showcase local talent, culture, and locations on screen.
Reflecting on his connection to the Federation, Louric shares:
“Partnering with the Nevis Film Commission is an opportunity to honor the region that shaped my family while helping expand what Caribbean cinema can look like in global markets. It means investing in local talent, celebrating our culture with nuance and care, and proving that stories from small islands deserve a place on the world’s biggest screens.
”
We are proud to spotlight members of our diaspora who are making an impact in the global film industry while maintaining strong ties to their Caribbean heritage.
