In Sint Maarten, no two days look the same for Focus Forward Media, and that’s exactly how they like it. One day, they’re capturing a wedding or a high-fashion shoot, the next, they’re live-streaming a memorial service or producing content for a corporate client. At the core of it all is one clear goal: “to capture moments with purpose and present them in a way that connects and inspires.”
Founded by brothers Alvin and John Prescod, Focus Forward Media brings together strong creative vision and execution. Alvin leads the creative direction, while John plays a key role in bringing ideas to life and ensuring every production runs smoothly. For Alvin, it goes beyond visuals. “We don’t just capture visuals, we capture meaning.”
The company prides itself on creating a broader creative force across photography, videography, live production, and design for both businesses and the community in Sint Maarten.
Behind the scenes, managing a creative business comes with its challenges, and payments used to be one of them. These were often slow or inconvenient, depending on the client. “Before Sentoo, we relied on bank transfers, cash, or international platforms.”
Now, that process is simpler.
"Sentoo has made the process much smoother. It allows us to request and receive payments quickly and easily."
Looking ahead, Focus Forward Media is focused on growth, from expanding its creative work to investing in young talent on the island. And through it all, Alvin’s mindset remains clear: “Why be normal, when difference is an art.”
