Harbance Kumar

Harbance Kumar is a Trinidadian filmmaker of Indian descent whose date and place of birth are unknown. He had directed the subtitling of Indian films in Trinidad before moving into directing himself, with a Trinidadian-Guyanese company distributing Indian cinema and a company he founded for the occasion. Hailed at the time as the pioneer of the island's cinema, which he dreamed of turning into the Hollywood of the West Indies, he then co-produced a film by Hugh A. Robertson and shot only once in Bombay, in 1974.
