‘Crossing Paths’premieres tomorrow

 Reverend Charlene Quaye, Executive Producer for Dia­mond Pillar Production, is set to premiere a must watch Christian ro­mantic drama titled ‘Crossing Paths’ today at the Silverbird Cinemas at Accra Mall and West Hills Mall.

The film promises to captivate audiences with its moving portrayal of love found in unexpected places, brought to life by some of Ghana’s most celebrated actors.

Rev. Quaye told The Spectator that the film’s central message was beautifully summed up in the time­less biblical verse: “In His time, He makes all things beautiful.”

According to her, through laughter, tears, and transformation, ‘Crossing Paths’ reminds viewers that love often arrives when least expected and that with patience, support, and open hearts, even the most unlikely relationships can blossom.
