Rooted in Culture. Driven by Purpose.

Stories with meaning and memory.

Caribbean Storytime Studios is an independent film and media company founded in St. Ann, Jamaica by producer and director Lavern Bernard, out of a deep love for the Caribbean and a commitment to authentic storytelling.

From the mountains to the sea, from ancestral traditions to modern innovation, we shine a light on voices and experiences that deserve to be seen, heard, and remembered. Our current production, Jamaica's Healing Roots, follows the island's elder herbalists across the Blue Mountains, Portland, Trelawny, and St. Elizabeth.
