Yemoh Ike
Yemoh Ike (born 5 November 1986) is a Ghanaian film producer, talent manager and the co-founder of A.K.A Entertainment, a film production company based in Ghana.[1][2] He produced Tsutsuɛ the first film from sub-Saharan Africa to be nominated for the 75th Cannes Film Festival.[3] A young man whose parents almost denied him the opportunity to marry his first love (acting). While in school, far away from home, he sneaked out from campus to a few auditions and successfully landed a scene for himself. His God giving logistic talent saved the production on the day of shoot. Successfully, the producer convinced him to assist the production as a coordinator. The interest of becoming a movie star gradually became a vapour in the air as the young man finally found solace behind the camera.
Yemoh Ike is a Ghanaian film producer who started as a coordinator and a premiere developer. Few months after completing G.I.A, where he studied marketing, he established a brand agency firm that scouts and manages talent.
"Growing up, Ike was not a privileged child. He sold anything from chips to charcoal in the streets of Accra to make ends meet, based on these life experiences he's convinced that success do not come by accident but carefully crafted through keen observation of one's surroundings, the market you find yourself in, the changing demands of the people during each season, and even the intangible feelings we are searching for. What a person stands for, what they believe in, or how they carry themselves can work miracles on the quality and quantity of people who gravitate to them and want to be a part of their journey.
With a dream to innovate Ghanaian produced films to unlock the potentials as Ghanaians to the global film industry, Yemoh teamed up with Amartei Armar to change the narrative; "The Ghana Film Industry is Dead" because to him the industry is yet to be born.
