EP159 | Ghanaian Movie Posters Will Blow Your Mind (w/ Brian Chankin)

Staring in the 1980s, in remote Ghanaian villages, films circulated through underground video clubs with a VCR and an electric generator. These screenings were promoted with posters painted on flour sacks by artists who sometimes had only the VHS box art for reference. The result was a bounty of massive, colorful, often surreal posters that have become cherished by collectors and spawned a market for new commissions. On today's episode host Mike Pecci is joined by Deadly Prey Gallery owner Brian Chankin, and the two get deep into the origins of the Ghanian movie poster world, the amazing video clubs of West Africa and their shared love of video stores.-------------------------------------------Before you listen to this episode head on over to https://www.instagram.com/deadlypreygallery/ and let your jaw drop to the floor. -----------------------►Deadly Prey Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deadlypreygallery/►Official Website : https://linktr.ee/deadlypreygallery►Mike Pecci's IG: instagram.com/mikepecci►ILWP's IG: instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspod------------->Featuring Music by:►Power Glove►Magic Sword►BETA MAXX►ORKLA DRIVE►CODE ELEKTRO►NIGHT RIDER 87------------------Sign up for BARK BOX here: barkbox.snlv.net/ILWP------------------Get 20% OFF @manscaped + Free Shipping with promo code ILWP at MANSCAPED.com------------------Support the show and get a free trail at Audible: www.audibletrial.com/ILWP-------------------Or support us by signing up for EXPRESS VPN: www.xvinlink.com/?a_fid=ILWP-------------------The Episode is Sponsored by►Puget Systems: puget.systems/go/152340►Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/►ETC: www.etcconnect.com/LoveTheProcess/►Black Magic: www.blackmagicdesign.com/products►ILWP Sponsor Page: www.inlovewiththeprocess.com/sponsors Hosted on Acast.
