The film’s director, Martinson, explains, “As an entrepreneur and a
person with disability, telling this story was dear to my heart. So, I
hope this film inspires, changes mindsets and encourages others with
similar challenges…”
“...this documentary
film was initially meant to tell my story as a
young entrepreneur with disability in Ghana. But soon, I realized there
were probably more like myself (persons with disabilities) who are
going against all the odds society throws at them, and despite their
challenges, are contributing to the economic growth of the country.”
Of all the potential sponsors Martinson contacted, only ZHIYUN replied
to his calls for assistance on this exciting project. Martinson learned
about ZHIYUN through YouTube, and it was the only company to contact
him because ZHIYUN believes every creative passion can be enhanced with
technological innovations. It deeply values how its products can be
used to create inspiring stories such as this. It’s corporate
philosophy echo’s the theme of enablement in the documentary, as ZHIYUN
produces a diverse product range for global filmmakers, enabling
creativity in filmmaking using anything from smartphone to professional
equipment.
Following the positive reception of his series, and frequently
requested by his audience that he continues exploring stories of
entrepreneurs with disabilities in Ghana, Martinson has received a
commission for a second series that has already begun filming. ZHIYUN
extends its congratulations to the filmmaker on his continued success.
