Amma Asante (born 13 September 1969) is a Ghanian-British filmmaker, screenwriter, former actress, and Chancellor at Norwich University of the Arts
Amma Asante (born 13 September 1969) is a Ghanian-British filmmaker, screenwriter, former actress, and Chancellor at Norwich University of the Arts, who was born in London to parents from Ghana. She has received numerous accolades from festivals around the world for her directorial work on her feature films, which typically explore social issues like cultural conflict and gender/racial roles. Asante attended the Barbara Speake Stage School in Acton, where she trained in dance and drama. It was there that she drafted her first script. Later, Asante became a child actress, performing in Grange Hill and other British series. She appeared in the "Just Say No" anti-drugs campaign of the 1980s and was one of nine Grange Hill child actors to travel to the White House for a meeting with then-First Lady Nancy Reagan. In her late teens, Asante left acting and worked in screenwriting. She founded a production company, Tantrum Films, where she wrote and produced two series of the drama Brothers and Sisters in the late 1990s. In 2004, Asante used the company to make her directorial debut with the feature film A Way of Life, which then received multiple awards and honours from around the world. Accolades in her home country included London Film Festival's inaugural Alfred Dunhill UK Film Talent Award, a BAFTA Film Award, and nominations for Best Newcomer from both the Evening Standard and the London Film Critics. Her second feature film, a 2013 period drama titled Belle, was also critic...
