Asa, a beautiful girl, a New Short Film on the Last 24hours Before a Young Nigerian Girl Embarks on a Journey of a Lifetime.

This remarkable film, shot in the Bronx and parts of Westchester County, is written and directed by Bronx native - Aimiende Negbenebor Sela. Starring Harlem resident - MaameYaa Boafo as Asa, and co-directed by Scarsdale resident - Michel Chahade, “Asa…” showcases a cast of 18 incredibly talented New York native actors.
When asked, why he agreed to work on Asa, a beautiful girl, Michel Chahade, co-director, said “It is a story that simply has to be told. Everyone needs to hear it.” Clarence Nisbett, 2nd Unit DP, and a native of St. Croix answered, “I know so many people who have the exact same story, it’s time people listened.” David Silverberg, Executive Producer emphasized how much “this story crosses all cultures.” The dedicated actors and production team members all expressed similar sentiments, some exclaiming that “They can’t wait to hear what the world has to say once the film’s out, as it promises to transcend stereotype and expectations.” Asa, a beautiful girl, is currently being submitted to festivals for the 2013 – 2014 Festival seasons.
