SHAKIRAH BOURNE
The story of how Payday surfaced is theatrical on its own. Our
three key players – Bourne, Redman and Browne – were brought
together by a shared, yet independent vision to make a fulllength feature film.
Redman has worked with Browne prior on numerous visual
projects. In 1995 Redman founded the award-winning design
company Acute Vision. He’s the businessman that knows not
to take life too seriously but still manages to get things done.
His business acumen and marketing depth took Payday on its
international journey. He packaged the product so deliciously
the audience is now hot for part two.

Browne is fluent in the language of the visual. As we wind
down for the day, I quickly discover he’s not shy in front of the
camera either. For years he has been the go-to guy for quality
visual imagery. His latest completed project is the simply
stunning video for the song My House, by Trinidadian Farmer
Nappy, 2015 Groovy Monarch second place finisher. The video
complements Farmer Nappy’s eloquently told story about his
love affair with Carnival. The YouTube hits tell the truth. Browne,
an accomplished director, has also created some of Barbados’
most impressive videos for entertainers such as Biggie Irie and
Kirk Browne.
