Fast growing Ghanaian shipping and freight forwarding company, Bison Imperial Global Shipping and Logistics have announced their resolve to positively impact the entertainment industry.
The firm made this known during a press conference to unveil their investment in the creative space from 2023.
The Company disclosed that in the first quarter of the year, they intended to partner EM Production and Adanfopa Media in France for an Europe Tour (Finest Tour).
“Not limited to Europe, there would be an African tour with some Ghanaian artistes and other people in the creative space in the last quarter of the year” manager said.
Additionally, they indicated that Bison would be launching a non-governmental organisation, Foundation and Social Corporate Responsibility Projects in the second quarter of 2023.
According to them, the third quarter will see a seminar organised by Bison at a University in Ghana and other tertiary institutions and a support for underprivileged schools.
Touching on the decision to venture into the entertainment industry, Henry Raphael Kemausuor, the General Manager of Bison Imperial Global Shipping and Logistics highlighted the role of the arts in socio-economic development.
“We have identified that the entertainment industry can change the ideology of a country. There are so much job creation opportunities in the entertainment sector and the government cannot do it alone . That is the reason why private sector participation is essential in the promotion and investment in the entertainment industry to explore its hidden opportunities,” he noted.
As sponsors of the ‘Finest Tour’ by DJ ABK GH, Isaac Owusu Nyantakyi Brempong, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Bison Imperial Global Shipping and Logistics said DJs are the first point of entertainment from all angels and also entertainment gives them a huge platform for visibility, global penetration and a very positive brand equity of every nation.
Also present at the press conference were Mensah Emmanuel, the CEO of EM Production, Yaw Oppong Agyemang, the Head of Operations at Bison Imperial Global Shipping and Logistics, and Mr. Akwasi Boateng, the Public Relations Agent for Bison Imperial Global Shipping and Logistics.

Ghana’s comedy industry would take centre stage today, when the sixth edition of the Ghana Comedy Awards is held at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Ridge, Accra.

This year’s ceremony would begin with a red-carpet session at 7:00 p.m., followed by the main awards event at 8:30 p.m.

After years of development, funding, and creative grit, Ghanaian feature film “Ego Reach We All” has earned an official nomination to make its world premiere at the 79th Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland this month.
Formerly titled Vagabonds, the 105-minute drama was written and directed by Amartei Armar and produced by Yemoh Ike.
It marks one of the biggest international breakthroughs for Ghanaian cinema in recent years.
The film was shot entirely in Ghana with a Ghanaian cast and crew, grounding it in authentic local culture.
Post-production was completed in France, a collaboration that Director Amartei Armar says reflects the film’s spirit, “A Ghanaian story told with the world.”
The journey began in 2018 when the short film version won at the Montreal World Film Festival, an Oscar-qualifying event.
From there, ‘Ego Reach We All’ grew into a full-length feature backed by some of the most respected names in global film development: Winner – Cannes Focus CoPro, Recipient – Red Sea Development Fund, Honoree – Red Sea Souk Award and Backed by – Red Sea Productions Fund.
Industry watchers have called it one of the most promising African film projects to emerge in the last decade.
Beyond awards, the project was shaped in top international labs.
Armar was selected for the Heyazah Screening Lab in Doha, Qatar, to refine the film’s narrative.
Producer, Yemoh Ike joined the prestigious, 2023 EAVE Producers Programme under a CNC scholarship, with training sessions in Luxembourg, Austria, and the Netherlands.
Most recently, the film was chosen for the 2025 Atlas Workshop in Marrakesh, Morocco, cementing its place in global cinema circles.
Casts include, Idrissu Tontie, Dorothy Adobea Tandoh, Emmanuel Wilberforce, Barbara Yong Jin, Emmanuel Owusu Ofori, O’Bryan Kwame Enyan, Gabriel Narh Addo, Nelly Bilson, and Kwame Brenya.
For the team, Locarno is not just a festival slot. It’s validation that Ghanaian stories, told by Ghanaians, can compete on the world’s most respected stages.
“Principal photography was done entirely by Ghanaian creatives,” the producers noted.
