Congratulations, Tapiwa Gwaza, Shemu Joyah & Seasons of a Life

The movie, Seasons of a Life, written, shot, edited and directed by Shemu Joyah, continues to soar. Tapiwa Gwaza has just won Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in this year's Africa Movie Academy Awards (AAMA) at an event held in Bayelsa, Nigeria, on the 10th of April, 2010.

Seasons of a Life is Shemu Joyah's first movie. It got nominations in 8 categories. Flora Suya, the lead actress, was up for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role. She lost to a worthy contender, Jackie Appiah of Ghana.

In moments like these, I feel proud to see compatriots do well at the continental level. Keep it up Shemu Joyah and the entire team at FirstDawn Arts!
