Skyline Levels advertised the premiere of the Film Food and Fireworks series at their location at 6 Skyline Drive(Reggae Mountain) via Instagram stories. My YouTube channel will feature content showcasing enjoyable adventures in St Andrew.

View of the city

The event was scheduled for Thursday, June 29, 2023, from 7:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m., which was during the work week, but I wanted to try something new, and the idea of watching the classic Jamaican film The Harder They Come under the stars while feasting on delicious food from @Kamilaskitchen_ja sounded very appealing to me as a waterfall enthusiast.

Patrons entering the venue.

 Sarah Manley's "The Code" served as the opening film.

I was there when it all started. "the early bird gets the worm" is a proverb that describes the benefits of getting started on a task as soon as possible.

The cost to enter the event was JMD 2,500.00.

The view was magical and the decorator did a great job.

 I invited Camala, also known as @outtaroad_chinrobe, for her adventures around Jamaica and the owner of @phresh_pheelin. 

Posing for the camera

The fact that she accepted my invitation made me happy beyond words.

   After a long day at the office  , I went home, got ready, and went to Papine.

She has a beautiful soul

We were just having fun.

 A private taxi took me to Skyline Levels. 

I’m in my element.

I owe a great debt of gratitude to Alex, who invited me to the Dud Club and piqued my interest in such activities—which, until then, I had avoided due to my devotion to waterfalls. 

Exploring Reggae Hill was a refreshingly novel experience.

I got to Skyline Levels shortly after 5:00 p.m. so that I could write a blog post about it.

Not only do I not like using the night mode on my Note 20 Ultra, but I also do not have a dedicated camera for nighttime photography.

The bar

Despite the fact that I was hours early to the venue, I was welcomed inside. 

Herb wine please

When I saw the breathtaking view of the city, I pulled out my tripod and started snapping pictures right away. 

Magic in a bottle

Someone thought I might be a photographer and asked if I was. 

When asked why I was there so early, I explained that I was a blogger.

Jamaica nice. Skyline has been added to my new favorite spot.

 Before it became overrun with people, I hoped to freeze time and record the area's natural splendor.

“This Cute”, Quite Perry Voice

The Jamaica Film and Television Association (JAFTA) was a sponsor of the Film Food and Fireworks series, and I had the opportunity to take photos with JAFTA member and filmmaker Shakira. 

 She has a stunning personality, and I enjoyed our brief photo session.

I also had the pleasure of meeting Josiah, another incredible human being, who posed for some photos with me after I told him about my blog, www.naturesweetwscapes.com.

His encouragement and acknowledgement of my enthusiasm for Jamaican culture and travel were tremendously uplifting.

Gorgie Wine, herb flavor, was next, which I should have gotten at Dubclub but couldn't because I had to work the next day.

My new friend Josiah got caught in my photo shoot, but he didn't mind.

 I can honestly say that I did not become intoxicated while drinking this wine. Yet, it was delicious. 

Camala and her sister  showed up, and we all posed for some pictures. I then spent JMD 2,000.00 on a Jerkshroom Wrap from Kamila's Kitchen, with a side of Breadfruit Chips.

The place where culinary miracles occur.

While I waited fifteen minutes for the food, I went to a different part of the property and took in the gorgeous view of the city. 

Jerkshroom Wrap for me please

Already, two people had settled in to eat and take in the scenery. They finally left to go see The Hard They Come.

It was delicious.

I snapped a few pictures quickly. Since it was after dark, I faced an additional difficulty.

However, I was confident in my ability to edit the photos to perfection.

While @itopialife offered patrons herbs for increased levels, I gathered my food and headed to watch the movie.

Dr. Kedemawe Knife led the discussion and gave the presentation. 

Justine Henzell, passing on her father's legacy, discussed the emotional core of Jamaica's first feature film, The Harder They Come.

One of the most famous actors in Jamaican cinema, Carl Bradshaw, posed for photos with me. He let them in on the inside scoop.

There were also freebies from JAFTA, one of which was won by Camala for correctly answering the first question about the short film The Code.

Watching movies with complete strangers while eating delicious plant-based meals from Kamila Kitchen and discussing rastafari and the Jamaican film industry was an unforgettable experience.

The music was definitely at higher levels according to Skyline levels, which was authentic Jamaican Reggae music. 

This is an event I will attend again, and you should too.

The view is perfect. Am I right, or am I right?
