John Dumelo picks form and starts campaign for Ayawaso West Wuogon NDC primaries

Ghanaian actor John Dumelo has started his campaign to get elected as the National Democratic Congress’ parliamentary candidate for the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency in the Greater Accra region. Dumelo picked up nomination forms to contest in the NDC primaries at Ayawaso West earlier in the week and would be undergoing a vetting to qualify for the contest.
But even before the vetting, Dumelo has released his campaign poster and started campaigning on social media.

Sharing a photo of his poster in his latest post on social media, the actor urged his constituents to support him on his journey to bring change.
“It’s time for Ayawaso West Wuogon….it’s time to listen and serve the interest of the people. It’s time for change….I John Dumelo, humbly ask you to support me on this journey. God bless you and God bless Ghana. Please follow the official campaign page for daily updates. @dumelo42020,” Dumelo wrote on social media.

 


Dumelo will compete with Ms Suzzy Afua Adoboe in the primary after Mr Delali Kwesi Brempong, who had represented the party in three parliamentary elections, failed to pick a form leaving Dumelo and Adoboe as the only candidates.

 

If successful in the NDC primary, Dumelo will likely be facing the incumbent, New Patriotic Party’s Lydia Alhassan who won a by-election in January 2019, after the passing of her husband, Emmanuel Agyarko Kyeremateng.

Showmax calls for pitches for 10 live action films from first-time African filmmakers

On the opening day of The Joburg Film Festival, Showmax released an open commissioning brief to the African film industry calling for pitches for a slate of 10 live action films.
The African streamer has won the South African Film and Television Awards’ Made-for-TV Movie Award for two years in a row, first with Loving Thokoza and then with Boxing Day, the first two feature films from Mandla N. In addition, another Showmax film, Kelsey Egan’s debut feature, Glasshouse, was the most awarded feature film overall at the SAFTAs last year, with five Golden Horns.
The new brief, in partnership with the Joburg Film Festival, is aimed at finding new talent and opening up the industry. The proposals must have a first draft screenplay and be set in contemporary Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria or South Africa, with a first-time director attached who is a resident or citizen in those countries. All official Ghanaian, Kenyan, Nigerian and South African languages are welcome and the final films should be more than 40m, in line with the SAFTAs Best Made-for-TV Movie Award category.
“Showmax’s audience prefers local content, with seven of the ten most streamed titles in South Africa, eight of the top 10 titles in Kenya and Nigeria, and nine of the top 10 in Ghana last year being African,” says Yolisa Phahle, CEO of Showmax and Connected Video at MultiChoice. “Making your first film is a key turning point in any director’s career. So this brief is another way we are trying to empower local filmmakers to tell their own stories for their own communities in their own languages. We’re looking for authentic stories that will resonate with our local audiences. Popular genres like romcoms, family dramas and thrillers are always welcome.”
Submissions are now open on https://submissions.mnetcorporate.co.za/channel/showmax; entries close on 1 April 2023. The selected projects will be announced in the second half of 2023 and screened on Showmax in 50 countries across sub-Saharan Africa in 2024.
Pitches should take the form of a video pitch in English of no more than five minutes. This video pitch should include short bios of the writer, director and producer; a concise summary of the story, including the ending; an introduction to your lead characters; and a discussion of your chosen genre and stylistic approach, with visual references.
