Telling Stories That Matter: The Filmmaking Journey of BLANKSON Abraham CEO, COLOURS Entertainment – Writer, Director, Producer, Editor

BLANKSON Abraham’s journey into filmmaking began with a boyhood fascination sparked by proximity to the Arizona Cinema in Kwesimintsim, Western Ghana. By age seven, he was already crafting shadow shows and makeshift projectors, driven by an innate passion to tell stories—particularly those silenced, hidden, or misunderstood by society. Though life initially led him into electrical engineering, his storytelling fire never went out. Years later, it reignited, leading him to write, direct, and produce his debut feature film, UNINVITED: Not Here Alone.

Abraham is a socially conscious filmmaker with a vision to reflect real-life struggles, cultural identity, and silent truths through emotionally grounded, visually intimate films. With training from Tomorrow Filmmakers and Udemy, and years of independent study of film theory, screenwriting, cinematography, and editing, he brings a flexible and hybrid creative style influenced by both Hollywood structure and African storytelling traditions.

His upcoming film NEVER HOME AGAIN, premiering on September 13, 2025, explores the painful realities of domestic violence in African households. Other powerful works such as ADOMAA: The Unbreakable, Codename:M225, and The Africa Deal explore themes like abuse, addiction, injustice, youth resilience, and human trafficking. At the heart of each story is Abraham’s unwavering purpose: to serve as a voice for the voiceless and a light for the overlooked.

Through his production outfit, Perfection Studios, Abraham has cultivated a team aligned with his vision. He believes in leading with empathy, clarity, and respect—ensuring every actor and crew member connects with the mission behind each project. Even with budget or logistical constraints, he ensures the emotional and thematic core of his stories remain intact.

As both a writer and director, Abraham’s creative process begins with truth and deep emotional questioning. His characters are layered, born from observation, real-life experiences, and cultural authenticity. Influenced by cinematic giants like Spielberg, Gibson, and Cameron, he combines realism with poetic visuals, powerful silence, and emotionally resonant pacing.

To aspiring filmmakers, he offers this: “Start where you are. Tell the story only you can tell. Stay rooted in your truth, and let your voice echo beyond the screen.”

For BLANKSON Abraham, filmmaking isn’t just an art form—it’s advocacy, healing, and a lifelong calling.
