Following his appointment as a judge for the 2024 US Presidential Service Center (USPSC) Film Festival, Ghanaian screenwriter and entertainment journalist Osarfo Anthony has spoken about his achievement, describing it as a dream come true.
As reported by 3news.com, Osarfo said this latest development was only part of his journey to becoming an esteemed Hollywood screenwriter.
"This opportunity holds immense significance in my journey to become a screenwriter within the esteemed Hollywood and global film industry."
"My dream is gradually transforming into a tangible reality, as I am now privileged to engage with judges who are distinguished producers, filmmakers, and development executives from various countries and cultures," he stated.
In his advice to fellow Ghanaian screenwriters, he encouraged them to aim high in their respective ventures and look beyond the shores of Ghana.Â
"Their scope should extend beyond Ghana or even the African continent. Despite never having set foot in America, I have garnered numerous accolades there while residing in Ghana. Similarly, despite not having travelled to Europe, I have secured sponsorship for a writers' retreat. These achievements stem from my visionary approach of transcending my comfort zone," he stated.
The USPSC International Film Festival is an all-inclusive festival that celebrates films and series about the first families and White House stories, with a focus on supporting aspiring filmmakers in securing funding and production opportunities.
This year's festival will take place in Glover, North Carolina, USA.
