PRESS RELEASE FILM MAKERS TO TRAVEL WITH KNUTSFORD EXPRESS July 10, 2013 Islandwide shuttle-service provider Knutsford Express has partnered with The Jamaica International Reggae Film Festival to provide VIP transportation for film makers attending the event, especially those arriving from outside Jamaica. All directors of festival films, as well as specially invited guests, will travel free on Knutsford Express coaches from Montego Bay or Kingston to Ocho Rios to attend the event, taking place August 1-5 at Island Village Shopping and Entertainment center. In return, the Reggae Film Festival has presented Knutsford Express with a specially selected package of Award-winning films from previous festivals that will be shown on all Knutsford Express coach routes during the 5-day film festival. Knutsford Express Marketing Manager Christian Corke stated that while the organization is usually not in the position to commit to such an event during the summer, it did not want to miss out on associating with such a major event as the Reggae Film Festival that will help in improving the Jamaican and Caribbean film industry. The Knutsford Express shuttle service provides air-conditioned luxury coaches on north and south coast routes,and has earned a reputation for reliable, safe and courteous all-island transportation.

**** MESSAGE FROM H.E. HON. ALOUN ASSAMBA, UK AMBASSADOR Dear Barbara, You would not know how much it pains me that I will not be able to attend the Reggae Film Festival this year. I am so glad that you have taken it to St Ann as that is my special place. I have looked at the line up of the films to be screened and there seems to be such a variety and some interesting choices. I hope you will get full houses every night. Thank you for all your work to keep this event on the Entertainment Calendar. Much love and wishes for great success. ALOUN ASSAMBA
