The awards shine a spotlight on the outstanding work of filmmakers, actors, directors, writers, producers, composers, and creatives whose contributions elevate Caribbean cinema and preserve the rich cultures, histories, and voices of the Caribbean and its diaspora. Founded by **Lexi Whilby** and produced by **Caribbean Film Awards, LLC**, the awards were created to provide a prestigious platform where Caribbean stories are celebrated on an international stage while fostering collaboration, visibility, and opportunity throughout the film industry.
