Emklan Motion Pictures Ready To Hit You

Okyeame Quophi's Entertainment Empire has added another subsidiary to his outfit called Emklan Motion Pictures, a film production unit of the group.

Speaking to Hi Newspaper's Nenebi Tony at the Emklan Studios at Gbawe, Okyeame Quophi, CEO of the group said, the group was an outfit committed to giving people total entertainment hence the decision to explore entertainment avenues to satisfy a vast array of clients.

Emklan Motion Pictures used to be Emklan Videos, known for producing the industry’s most pocket-friendly music videos. Quophi confirms: “As a musician myself, I understand the plight of my colleagues hence the need for moderate charges and most conveniently flexible payment terms”.

H e added that if a client was tight on budget, he could still give them quality video. To enhance the quality of works by both Emklan Videos and Emklan Motion Pictures, the group has acquired new state-of-the-art equipment.

For starters, Emklan Motion Pictures has produced “Yuda”, an Akan language thriller. The movie was produced by Stacy Amoateng and written and directed by Charles Afreh Mensah with Okyeame Quophi working on the soundtrack as well as editing. “Yuda” is the story of a prince (played by James Clark) who was told by a Fetish Priestess that he was to marry her daughter (Played by Portia Asare). He was ready to play by the plan until he meets and falls in love with the pretty Princess (Vicky Zugah) from their rival village. The story takes a twist when his bethrolled love kills the Princess. From the few minutes of the movie I watched, the story is well-told with loads of humour, melodrama, folklore and suspense.

Okyeame Quophi did a perfect work with the picture quality and soundtrack. The songs were well-composed and well played to match the storyline of the movie. Janet Ackom of “Osofo Dadzie” fame, William Addo a.k.a Akpatse, Theophilus Annan and Kwame Amoo (of Hot FM Newsroom) are some of the other cast. Emklan Music, Emklan Events and Emklan are the other members of the Emklan Group owned by Hits FM Morning Show and TV Africa's Sound Splash host, Okyeame Quophi and his wife Stacy, host of “Music Music” on TV3.
