According to an article film-maker Leila Djansi published, she spent almost half a million dollars on her movie-Sinking Sands in Ghana alone and in fact, she lost money on that production…

In the said blog post, she wrote;

“I spent, excluding marketing and finishing, almost 500,000 dollars in Ghana alone. I laid out a good amount of money for the marketing of the film. Some was spent on the marketing, Senanu Gbedawo enjoyed the rest. The theater was empty. I lost money. if I hadn’t found a buyer here in the States, I don’t know what I’d have done.”

In the same post, Leila Djansi who Socrate Sarfo has once said she was his student (apprentice) on film set threw some daggers and some landed on Socrate Sarfo’s doorsteps.

According to Leila, there is no difference between charging people for auditions and a film-maker like Socrate Sarfo and the others owning acting clubs. And if the former is unacceptable or equals to corruption, the latter should fit the same box.

The Director wrote;

“Remember, it is wrong for production companies to have acting clubs or acting schools. It is very very wrong. But, that’s what’s happening. I fail to understand the double standard of people like Socrates Safo and co. I heard sometime ago they went to stop a producer from charging for auditions. Why then you do Socrates have an acting club? What’s the difference?”

Leila Djansi have had some tough and wrong times making films in Ghana. At one point, she even announced that she will be making more films in Ghana. But for whatever reason, she had to swallow her own words and return…

    • lily, u shud tell GC to stop writing about leila. other people are gladly watching her movies. I mean the rest of the whole world. maybe u are not intelligent enuf to understand the movies she make. why not read the whole blog she posted on her facebook, u may learn something from it. Leila is always advising filmmakers and actors and I admire and support her for that. http://leilasparty.blogspot.com/2014/02/new-faces-vrs-old-faces-african-cinema.html. she gave a very good advice in the blog and even tho I’m in the US, I still benefited from it because I want to be an actress. She is the only filmmaker who cares about the growth of the industry. get that into yur thick skull.

  5. jeanie, what good example are you speakin off? why not read the blog and understand why she brings up someone who stole her money? this is ekwensu spirit at its highest level. abeg please don’t be a fan. you are fan of tomatoes movies and that is not what `leila `djansi makes. ago away. we beg una. real producers always say the budget of their movies. so if she says she spent 500,000 thousand, is that bragging?yur envy of this woman is no longer hideable. i swear. did she steal? did she sleep with una husband? what good example are you talking about? she makes the best movies in Africa. even CNN says so.
    i am getting very sick and tired of you people on this website. you cannot form your own opinion about people by getting to know them. u form yur opinion by what `chris tells you. abi `chris tells u how to do yur husband in the bedroom too? i don tire for una. hater nation, hater citizens. that’s what you are.
