Ghanaian screenwriter, Osarfo Anthony, who has won a number of screenwriting contests in Hollywood, has expressed interest in working with American actor Spike Lee who recently visited Ghana.
Osarfo made the request on Instagram when 'BlacKkKlansman' director arrived in Ghana.Â
He posted: “The 'BlacKkKlansman' director, @officialspikelee, is in Ghana, West Africa. Welcome home, sire! Want screenplays from Africa or written by an African?Â
I'm at your service 😉. From Africa to Hollywood, we can make it happen.
Enjoy all the treats in the Motherland.
Namaste 🙏"
It's Osarfo's wish that as more and more African American filmmakers come to Ghana as part of the Year of Return/Beyond the Return initiative, they'll be interested in optioning, buy, or invest in screenplays written by Ghanaians or African screenwriters.
