A little bit about the director Ghartey Amoo Ghana born , DC native grew up in the U.S. holds a B.A. in public relations from HBCU Bowie State and a masters in fine arts in communication from Trinity university in Washington DC, after school Ghartey moved to NYC attended Stella Alder school of acting and worked on his love for acting. Scoring small roles in theatre and small roles in TV and commercials and print work Ghartey wanted to create his own content and provide a new look into cinema and creative ideas and story lines. Ghartey still works also as a workering actor and print model under Tara Reid Management but also owns his own film production company Amoo Cinema.
I want to envision films that open a narrative dialogue from a new industry eye. I want to tell stories and showcase talent that may never get that opportunity they need. Making this film I have been fortunate to work with so many different people from young to old to overseas to local. I gained friendships with my cast and crew and with a special bond on our Editorial Consultant Nelson Tracey who has worked on many projects big and small in the industry and without him I would never even understand the editing process that goes into making a film.
