“Emerald Vibes has been an idea the production team and I have been discussing for a while and we felt a look at Montserrat’s hectic November to January festival season was a good time to kick off the show,” explained Executive Producer and the show’s director Nerissa Golden. “Montserrat is a visually stunning place and we wanted to capture it for our viewers and also as the island continues its reemergence we want to tell the stories of this journey.”
