As Guyana prepares to welcome a historic international film production to its shores, acclaimed filmmaker Carl Weyant stands at the forefront as director of the movie “Secrets in the Rupununi” — a project that is drawing global attention to the breathtaking landscapes of the Rupununi.
Recently highlighted in the Guyana Chronicle, the film represents one of the most significant international productions to be filmed locally in over five decades. For Weyant, the project is more than a movie; it is an opportunity to build cultural bridges between Hollywood, Bollywood, and Guyana’s emerging creative industry.

“Secrets in the Rupununi”, written by Guyanese author Geeta Autar-Sirjoo, is a sweeping love story and drama set against the breathtaking landscapes of the Rupununi. [It will be] the first major feature film production in Guyana in over 50 years. This is a Guyanese Film Production. The Production is scheduled to begin in May/June 2026, with casting anticipated for March/April 2026. The production team consists of Mohamed F. Khan, Executive Producer and Ed Ahmad, Co- Executive Producer.
