Why work with BvR Productions?
Storyteller Barbara van Rijn Tuwor leads the team with 25 years of corporate, TV and filmmaking experience, including extensive experience in Europe, and 17 years working on the ground in Ghana and across Africa. This combination of international production experience, training and professional standards with deep local knowledge and established relationships makes us an ideal partner for filming in Ghana and the rest of Africa.
We bring the experience, working habits and production standards of international environments, combined with a genuine understanding of how to work effectively on the ground in Africa. Our strong network of local crew and professionals is trusted by international clients and organisations, allowing us to work efficiently with small, flexible teams while navigating all Africa throws at us in the field.
We also collaborate with trusted, like-minded small filmmaking companies across the continent, including in Nigeria, Mali, Angola and Mozambique, to name just a few. This gives us the ability to build the right local team wherever a production takes us, while maintaining a consistently high production quality and a deep understanding of local context.
Barbara as Author
When Your Name Means Trash takes place in Ghana – a beautiful, vibrant country full of color and music, but also full of inequality. Especially young women living below the poverty line have very few choices. In my gripping novel, you follow Sumina, a village girl full of dreams about a better life with her great love – until a curse takes everything from her, and she must fight to survive in the bustling city of Accra.
A coming-of-age novel that has Barbara's 17 years Ghana experience, interviews and discussions with Ghanaian women and girls woven into one gripping story.
