Auteur Watch - Kwaw Ansah

 Okay, time for my old question again: what do this guy and this guy have in common?  That's RIGHT!  They're both our next Auteur, Kwaw Ansah.  Now, he's only directed two films, but how on Earth are we ever going to see them?  Well, Love Brewed in the African Pot just happens to be on YouTube!  Whelp, God bless YouTube again, then!  The other, Heritage Africa, is also on YouTube.  But for whatever reason, the opening credits got cut off.  They have their own separate YouTube page here.

That just leaves his production, a 1998 TV movie called "Hopes on the Horizon"... harder to find on YouTube.  Might not even be there!  Sure are a lot of people looking for a lot of hope.  Hell, I'd take some hope tunneling up from under the ground... usually it's the opposite.  I'll keep working on it, though.

Love Brewed in the African Pot is apparently available in graphic novel form in Stanford's off-campus storage

PBS page for "Hopes on the Horizon" ... maybe the same one!!!
