No one from the Film Industry in Ghana connected with me during my visit- Spike Lee
American filmmaker Shelton Jackson, popularly known as Spike Lee, has revealed that no one from the Ghana Film Industry has reached out to him since his arrival in the country.
According to Spike Lee, he wasn’t even aware that there’s a “thriving” film industry in Ghana.
The award-winning movie producer and director in an interview on Asaase Radio stated that although his arrival in the country was publicised, no one reached out to him in that regard.

“I did not know that there is a thriving film industry in Ghana, I know about Nigeria. And I made the point that it was publicised that I was coming and no one approached me from the film office. I would have loved to meet the people in the film industry here [in Ghana],” he said in the interview.
Here’s how I realized 🇺🇸filmmaker Spike was really out to make impact on this 🇬🇭trip. But it’s now a missed opportunity😥

“So there’s a film school here and they know Spike Lee is coming, no one reached out and said ‘Spike, can you speak to our students’, I would have done it” he stated.
