| Posted: 12 Sep 2015 04:50 PM PDT  Attah Abraham at Venice Film Festival The life of a young street vendor from Ghana has changed for good or let's say, is about to take a shocking good turn. Without having ever stepped a foot in any acting classroom or haven't even dreamt of ever becoming an actor, Attah Abraham who was picked from the streets of Ghana during the shooting of Netflix's soon to be released movie “Beasts of No Nation“, has won the prestigious Marcello Mastroianni’s Best Young Actor award at the 2015 Venice Film Festival, the world’s oldest film festival. It surely was a risky business to fly into Ghana and pick a street vendor to become your lead actor—you can say director Cary Fukunaga is crazy for doing this but his edge for risk has started paying off. In April this year, producer James Schamus and director Cary Fukunaga at the Tribeca Film Festival spoke about how their latest film-Beasts of No Nation, starring Idris Elba's teenage lead actor was randomly picked from the streets of Ghana. Cary Fukunaga said; "the lead in 'Beasts of No Nation' was essentially a street vendor before we shot the film. [He had] zero film experience, little education…but he became a somewhat professional actor, which was astounding to watch." Fukunaga added that, "his unlikely star’s name is Abraham Attah, and he is a 14-year-old who plays an 11-year-old child soldier in the film. Abraham’s character joins a militant group from an unnamed West African country that is led by a brutal warlord, played by Idris Elba ("Luther")" reported the BusinessInsider.  Attah Abraham at Venice Film Festival Some will call it talent and others may call it the work of God—whatever it is, Attah Abraham's future has new shinning stars—the 14 year old Ghanaian street vendor with no hope of a better tomorrow has now become an inspiration to even already ‘established’ Ghanaian actors. Though it was a street pick, Abraham initially had to fight for the role. Fukunaga mentioned that it was an interesting casting process; "We gathered a bunch of kids who had potential, about 30 of them, and we did this theater workshop and tried scenes that were in the script, and we would improvise. See if these kids could play a variety of emotions and actions that take place in the story. And the kids are fast learners, they quickly understood that the better they did the longer they stayed [in the running for the role]." Even when he scored the role, Abraham took charge of affairs and made shocking progress during the shooting. Touching on the amazing progression of Abraham during the difficult scenes of filming, director-Fukunaga told the film festival audience at the time that;(...) © Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri, Editor for Ghanacelebrities.com, 2015. | Permalink | 4 comments | Add to del.icio.us Feed enhanced by Better Feed from Ozh  |

| ASK SASSYCHIC: Are You a Shopaholic? | How to Deal With Your Excessive Shopping Habit Posted: 12 Sep 2015 10:11 AM PDT 'The devil creates work for idle hands'…so the saying goes. I had a few days off and after months of announcing to anyone who would listen that I am having a big clear out of all my possessions, what started out with a pot of nail polishes continued a week later at the bottom of my shoe shelf. With popular best-selling books like 'Confessions of a shopaholic' and movies such as 'The Devil Wears Prada', the term shopaholic appears to be a likeable title for some of us. A title we seem to like to boast about. It's no joke, it's not funny and my bank manager and partner do not think so either. An online dictionary defines shopaholic as; A frequent shopper, especially one who is unable to control his or her spending… Though we joke about it at the back of our minds we may feel guilty at times when making purchases we know are not necessary. The whole point of highlighting and openly discussing this is the notion and idea that there is so much more of what I and we could be doing with our hard earned cash. Every penny counts and I have so much more I want to achieve than my impressive shoe collection. I can't cultivate my dreams if I'm spending my money meant for investments on Zara handbags. So what did I discover during my mammoth clear out; the clothes from years back that still had labels and had never been worn or the pair of shoes that had only been worn once and that was because my sister pinched them without my knowledge and wore them (I only found out because of a picture that was posted on Facebook…the joys of social media). Many of us are guilty of these acts of over shopping and accumulating goods that are hardly or ever worn. While I continue to tell myself that compared to my sister, friends or even my mom that the 30 odd pair of shoes I have are really not that bad, it really is something for me to consider changing. I fear that my love for YouTube videos full of what is referred to as shopping hauls and instagram only makes matters worse for people who love to shop. Not to mention the love of receiving a compliment from someone asking… 'where is that from, you look lovely.'(...) © IamSassyChic.Com for Ghanacelebrities.com, 2015. | Permalink | No comment | Add to del.icio.us Feed enhanced by Better Feed from Ozh  |
