Deputy mayor of May Pen, Uphell Purchell, said Jamaican Mafia shows that there is a future for the local film industry.
"I think Jamaica has been seeing some future in movies. With the development process that's coming too, it's really something that will enhance Jamaica. This, of course, will help to build the economy," he told the Jamaica Observer.
Fax is happy the movie lived up to its pre-premiere hype.
"This is my passion, and once you have the passion you can't go wrong. I'm just glad to see the movie has lived up to the hype because the adrenaline rush is so high right now," he said.
Fax, who co-produced the film, also handled casting and wrote the screenplay.
"Once I saw the characters and each person who came to audition, I knew right away who was right for what role. I chose the cast right away," he explained.
Hannah Town-raised actor Stokley Brown, who plays Massop, describes his role as an easy fit. more

MATH PUZZLE : Here's The Answer To That Fruit Math Puzzle That's Driving Everyone Coconuts.... What's half a coconut plus one apple plus three bananas? Is the answer 12, 14, 16, 18 or 20. Go to www.RulaBrownNetwork.com for the correct answer.

 02/18/2016 02:01 am ET It's one of those Facebook posts that's all over the place, and -- like " the dress " or the  hidden panda  -- everyone seems to have a different take on it.  What is half a coconut plus one apple plus three bananas?  On the surface, it would seem the apple has a value of 10, the bananas a value of four and the coconut a value of two. And if that were the end of the story, the answer would be 2 + 10 + 4 = 16.  But in the final frame, the fruit are slightly different.  There is half a coconut, instead of two halves in the earlier example equation that establishes a value of two. And instead of the four bananas representing the value of four, there are just three bananas.  If the numbers are reduced along with the portions of fruit, you get a totally different answer: 1 + 10 + 3 = 14.   Which is the correct answer? Like the dress, the answer is in how you see it.... See Rula Brown'...
