Elle Sam is co-founder of Out The Box Creative, a Ghanaian production company and artist collective based in Accra. The collective brings together filmmakers, artists, healers, and cultural practitioners to create work that centers African and diasporic voices, epistemologies, and creative traditions.
Out The Box Creative operates at the intersection of storytelling, community development, and cultural preservation — producing immersive experiences, film projects, and collaborative works that travel between continental Africa and the global diaspora. The collective’s work is rooted in the belief that creative practice and indigenous knowledge are inseparable from the work of building just, resilient futures.
