Filmmaker Blitz Bazawule has signed with CAA. The Ghanaian New York-based visual artist was formerly with Paradigm. Bazawule, who has recorded several Afrobeats records as Blitz the Ambassador, had his feature directorial debut, The Burial of Kojo, acquired by Netflix through Ava DuVernay’s Array Films. Bazawule shot the film in Ghana, where he was born, while also composing and performing the score for the feature. Hollywood Reporter critic John DeFore described the film in a review as "a gorgeous debut that makes myths without grandiosity." His other credits include directing Cherish The Day for OWN. Bazawule's directorial work is featured prominently in the upcoming Beyoncé visual album Black Is King, which debuts on Disney+ on July 31. Bazawule is managed by MACRO Management.
