For the last 6 years Jacqui has been Executive Manager of Film South; winning 9 AFCI (Assoc. of Film Commission International) marketing awards during the past 3 years.

Jacqui actively promoted the Greening the Screen initiative at last year’s AFCI Locations Expo in Los Angeles, resulting in a number of approaches to the project from international film commissions. Film South’s promotional material for the Expo was printed on recyclable newsprint and the giveaway items were sustainable polished gemstones.
