2010 BAHAMAS FILM FESTIVAL 

The Bahamas International Film Festival wrapped in Nassau Thursday night with the closing night film, Precious, which brought out the island out to watch the film and then partake in a Q&A with screenwriter Geoffrey Fletcher and Lenny Kravitz, who stars in the film. The seven day fest also included a career tribute to Johnny Depp earlier in the week, another tribute to Bahamanian underwater cinematographer Gavin McKinney and a Rising Star honor to actress Sophie Okonado.

I attended the fest, where I moderated the closing night Q&A, and here's some shots from the fest.
