Mini-Series Shot at the Weather Station
"Passport to the Internet", produced by Rony Lainé and Production des Iles, will be a televised mini-series designed for those who would like to learn how to use the Internet. The mini-series will be a combination of fact and fiction. It starts with a story about a grandfather and his granddaughter in the French Antilles who want to get news about family members who live far away. An expert on the Internet will then explain and demonstrate how to use the Internet to do this. The filming for the fictional portion of the mini-series took place December 21-28 at the Météo France weather station in Gustavia. The factual portion was filmed there January 4-8, 2008. St Barth does not play a major role in the mini-series but was chosen for its location and availability of amateur actors who represent the French West Indies. The ten 13-minute episodes are scheduled to air in early 2008 on public and private TV stations in the four overseas departments of Guadeloupe, Guyana, Martinique and Réunion.
