Why Caribbean Chit
Everybody films the highlight. We film the whole thing.
Nine years documenting Caribbean Carnival, J’ouvert and soca culture across the diaspora — and publishing it in full.
Front-line road access
Nine years of relationships — revelers recognise us, and they are always glad to perform in front of our camera.
Broadcast-grade and licensable
All videos are recorded in 4K, colour-graded and stabilised, then downsampled to 1080 for efficient web transfer. 4K files are available on request.

Who we are
Built by people who play mas
Caribbean Chit started as a personal project — one iPhone camera, one J’ouvert, and a feeling that nobody was recording long-form carnival content. It grew into a full media outlet covering Carnival across the United States, the Caribbean and beyond.
We travel to the events.
- Independent and self-funded — no brand telling us what to cut.
- Major diaspora carnival covered on a repeating annual calendar.
- Extended cuts for Patreon members, including uncensored footage.
Don’t just remember carnival. Own it.
