lost & found - production roles
TRANSCRIPT
Director/Assistant DOP/Editor – Benjamin Tedeku
In charge of telling this compelling story visually, I believe I have all the components necessary to lead my small team and execute this illustra5on effec5vely. Due to my close rela5onship with Henry Amankwah, only I know in technical aspects how I want this to look, & with a dedicated team around me that are passionate about helping portray my vision on screen, The “Lost and Found” documentary will be one to watch out for.
Co-‐Director – Henry Amankwah
Who else was a beRer nominee to co-‐direct than Henry Amankwah…nobody. Yes indeed, I nominated the main man himself to assist me in enhancing visual aspects of this documentary as well and providing a load of necessary informa5on that would tell his story correctly. I saw this as an opportunity to work with a dear friend, mentor, brother and personal inspira5on, to inspire others with his own story the way it impacted myself
Cinematographer/Ligh5ng – Haydn Thomas
Technically, I saw no other candidate come into compe55on with my good friend Haydn Thomas. Taking on the role of Cinematographer/D.O.P with ease, Haydn approaches his work with humility and avails himself to hearing instruc5on while adding his own special technical touch to it. I have worked with Haydn for around about three years now, a friend that understands my visions and is easy to communicate with, having Mr. Thomas on my team is nothing but a benefit for me and I am proud to have him.
Sound Score/Ar5st/Composer -‐ Kieran Asare
When you see someone play an instrument with a passion like Kieran does, you have to recruit him to your team ASAP, and that is exactly what I did. Kieran is a very talented musician, who composes his own music. I portrayed my vision to him and it clicked with him straight away. Having an individual like him on the team is sure something I will not regret and will surely come with reward.
Actor – Bernard Mensah
Working with giYed actor Bernard Mensah, is not something that is new to me. Bernard has displayed his talents in numerous films & theatre produc5ons e.g. Na5vity (2009), Gone Too Far (2013), A Class Apart (BBC Film), The Lion King etc. I have worked with Bernard for around about 4 years. Bernard is a passionate & humble actor ready to take instruc5on and work it to the best of his ability. I have no doubt that Bernard will deliver an award winning performance, even though his role in my produc5on is small. He will portray “Young Henry” in the reconstruc5on planned for the documentary.
Project Manager – Catherine Sarpong
Catherine is a well organised leader and a vital member of this team. As I can’t take on all the organisa5on of this documentary on my own chest, Catherine offered her help to me, to ensure that my documentary goes to plan. Catherine is a passionate actor with a love for theatre/drama. She has wriRen and organised her own plays, which she has showcased at churches and events in the past years. I have faith that Catherine will play her posi5on on my team.
