A glimpse of current projects, simmering dreams and future triumphs.

On any given day, Kweku Hayford is involved in numerous film and entertainment projects, most of which are assisted through the gateway of Nimble Sage Productions. He fulfills executive producer duties for some, while helping others obtain financing, technical expertise or post-production services. Current projects feature all genres, from light romantic comedy to classic horror, and Kweku is in the midst of negotiating investment opportunities for several new features from established directors. His portfolio contains both past accomplishments and projects that are still in pre-production.

Cranky & Uptight

The old saying that opposites attract is blown out of the water in this creative romantic comedy that touches on everything from Irish literature to saving the whales.

When clean-living Ernest meets Jolene, a free-spirited co-worker from another office, sparks fly at the annual retreat. It is a gathering hosted by Rod Reed, the
owner of the kitchen and bathroom chain where his eight managers work. Unfortunately, Jolene is beset by a series of mishaps which leave her reaching for
the anti-anxiety medication she forgot at home, thoroughly alienating an unimpressed Ernest. They are fated to remain apart until a fire thrusts Ernest and his assistant Chuck into the center of Jolene’s store.

Rekindling their fledgling relationship, Ernest and Jolene find that “cranky” and “uptight” might have something in common after all. A passionate embrace at the Christmas party, however, leaves Ernest worried about professionalism and Jolene throwing darts at his picture. They turn a corner when Ernest comes to realize that there’s a difference between medication and the hard drug use that killed his only brother.

Cranky & Uptight is a deceptively light jaunt through complex issues that are addressed with humor, compassion, and the inevitable happy ending that will warm the cockles of the most cynical heart.

Summer Sisters

Audrey is very much a city girl and lives everyday with her electronic devices, but in the country finds it hard to connect to her social media platforms. Lizzy, 10 and Louie (short for Louise), 9 are very “country” in their lifestyle and lives and plays outdoors and finds many things to get caught up in… including pranks on the boys in their small town. With connection problems, Audrey has no choice but to join her sisters in on the fun.

The sisters find a true and strong connection, but is faced with saying good – bye to each other when summer comes to an end.

White Chocolate

n the world of Street Ball, it is perceived that only black athletes dominate this style of game. However, in the story of “White Chocolate” an out of place white Southern player reigns victorious. The dynamic in the story is the social integration of a White basketball player into the high intensity world of the predominately Black East Coast Street Ballers.

The lead character heads to the Northeast to play in several high stakes 1-on-1 tournaments, in an effort to financially support his terminally ill grandfather. Similar to the gun slingers of the Old West, White Chocolate encounters one-on-one battles, quick death matches and poetic trash talking opponents.

Just as Rocky showed immeasurable heart in the face of certain defeat, White Chocolate is able to dig deep and find the strength to emerge triumphantly.
