Award-winning Ghanaian-British filmmaker, Julius Amedume continues to make waves with his artistic style of film making, this time with a short film titled ‘Mr Graham’.
‘Mr. Graham’ tackles controversial subject matter in a very subtle -yet very effective -way as a young man comes to terms with his inner demons. Mr Graham (Alexis Rodney) remembers the legacy left by his father. As he travels home at night watching a train slither over the tracks and into the darkness, his father’s spirit blossoms and grows in him. The next day as he goes about his daily duties, he struggles with a secret obsession that threatens the life he had hoped to build.
“It is one of the darkest, most challenging and complex pieces of work I have done to date. I think Alexis Rodney’s performance is phenomenal and is the result of his 4 months of preparation for his character. I think his performance and the crew was simply amazing”, comments Julius Amedume, who wrote and directed the short film.
