Despite its current state though, many of the country's finest artistes prefer to work in the homely setting.

Film & TV

There has been no significant film industry in Trinidad and Tobago. There have been a few films produced in the country but without any significance in terms of establishing a Trinidad and Tobago presence in the international industry, or in providing material for domestic use. Local film production is limited to Television. There are two television stations; one government owned (TTT) the other privately owned (TV6). Local productions tend to use existing local music rather than have specific music composed for the productions. During 2000, TIDCO established a special desk on film, and one of its personnel has been allocated specifically to promoting the development of the industry in the country. There has been some apparent interest and response from abroad, but it is still too early even to speculate on the implications for the music of the country.
