A Trailblazing Ghanaian Film Producer Yemoh

Early Beginnings

Yemoh’s passion for acting led him to sneak out from campus during his school days to attend auditions. His innate logistical talent even saved a production on the day of shooting. The producer recognized his potential and convinced him to assist as a coordinator. Gradually, Yemoh shifted his focus from aspiring movie star to finding solace behind the camera.

From Coordinator to Producer

Yemoh started as a coordinator but quickly transitioned into film production. After completing his studies in marketing at G.I.A, he founded Next Media Concept—an agency that scouts and manages talent. His upbringing, marked by hard work (from selling chips to charcoal on the streets of Accra), taught him that success is carefully crafted through keen observation, adaptability, and understanding the changing demands of the industry.

Breaking Barriers

Yemoh’s groundbreaking achievement came with producing “Tsutsuɛ,” the first sub-Saharan African film nominated for the 75th Cannes Film Festival. His dedication to innovation and unlocking Ghanaian film potential led him to collaborate with Amartei Armar. Together, they challenged the notion that the Ghanaian film industry was dead. To Yemoh, it was yet to be born.
