Gilbert Ramy Carrey is a Ghanaian writer, director, and producer whose storytelling spans film, television, and publishing. His first work, the comic book Adventures in Pencilvania (2016), marked the beginning of his creative journey, followed by the epic feature film The Slave King (2017), which established him as a bold new voice in Ghanaian cinema. He went on to create the television serial Coffee Shop, the short film Trapped By Myself (officially selected for Accra Cinema Week 2023), and his upcoming short, Cope, a socially driven project tackling suicide prevention and mental health awareness.

At 17, he earned a nomination for the EMY Africa Awards – Discovery of the Year, and he later received the prestigious Netflix Creative Equity Scholarship, which included a hands-on internship with EbonyLife Films in Nigeria, where he developed skills in crafting African-centered stories at scale.
