Migration & budget filmmaking: Film talk with Nana Mensah

The Garden Cinema Film Talk

We are joined by writer/director/actress Nana Mensah. Mensah's first feature film, the award-winning Queen Of Glory, will be screening at the Garden Cinema on 26 November.

The film follows the trials and tribulations of Sarah Obeng, the brilliant child of Ghanaian immigrants, who is quitting her Ivy League PhD program to follow her married lover to Ohio. When her mother dies suddenly, she bequeaths her daughter a Christian bookstore in the Pelham Parkway section of the Bronx where Sarah was raised.

We were also joined by Lily Parrott, co-director of the Migration Film Festival. We chatted about Nana's forays into filmmaking, her start as an actress, and its selection as part of the festival.
