'I Sing of a Well', a new movie produced by ace actress Akofa Asiedu and directed by Hollywood documentary filmmaker Leila Djansi wrapped shoot on Tuesday in Ghana.
Word around town is that this movie will be the best ever from Ghana. An elaborate set was constructed for the entire production at Sapeiman in the Greater Accra region.
The movie was shot on a $100,000 budget.
The story is set in the ancient Ghana Empire in the days of Mansa Musa, and it tells of Soraya and Dume, two young lovers threatened by the arrogant Prince Wenambe who is basking in his new found throne and alliance with Mansa Musa. But is Mansa Musa really his friend or a slave raider himself in disguise and what happened to Dume and why did Soraya marry Prince Wenambe?
The director was very excited about the entire production despite the many setbacks on set, she said she loves period pieces and thinks ‘I sing of a Well’ is her stress relief movie before she launches into the more rigorous work and tasks ahead of her for the Ghana film industry.
Asked which Hollywood star she intends to spice the movie with as is her plan, she smiled and said 'I have no Hollywood star in this but I do have the voice of one star as a narrator.'
She will not tell who it is though. Rumour on the set is that the narrator’s voice is that of Danny Glover. We will all know when the movie comes to bare. The movie stars some of Ghana’s aces who took a back seat at the start of the industry - Akofa Asiedu, Kofi Middletom Mends, Prince David Osei, Stacy Amoanteng, Doris Sackitey, Luckie Lawson, Godwin Kotey and J.O.T Agyeman as Prince Wenambe.
The movie promises to be a masterpiece.
