Entity

The JUYAA Creator Collective will be formally established as a co-operative entity in Jamaica a strategic decision grounded in both vision and practicality.

Jamaica offers the strongest foundation for launching this initiative, with:

• The most mature film and television sector in the Caribbean, providing a robust starting point for regional influence and industry development.
• The largest talent pool and population base, ensuring access to a wide range of creative voices, technical expertise, and cultural perspectives.
• A relatively advanced legal and institutional framework for cooperative development, making it feasible to build a democratic, member-owned structure that can scale across the region.
• A well-developed financial sector, particularly when it comes to the movement and management of foreign currency. Jamaica’s banking infrastructure and regulatory environment offer greater flexibility and reliability for international transactions—an essential advantage for a regional industry engaging with global partners, investors, and markets.

By anchoring The Collective in Jamaica, JUYAA is positioning itself to grow organically across the Caribbean while maintaining its core values of ownership, sustainability, and cultural leadership. This is about creating an industry that serves its creators first—and lasts.
