Yvonne Nelson set to premiere “Tripping” on Easter Friday
Ghanaian actress and filmmaker Yvonne Nelson is preparing to dazzle audiences once again with her latest cinematic venture, “Tripping,” scheduled for release on March 29, Easter Friday at the Silverbird Cinemas.
Produced under the banners of YN Studios in association with Balance Studios, the film promises to deliver an enthralling narrative of adventure, mystery, and self-discovery.
The star-studded cast of “Tripping” features an array of talent, including Yvonne Nelson herself, alongside some industry veterans such as Irene Opare.
TikTok sensation Jackline Mensah, comedian Hogan, and “Yolo” star Delove Augustt, Solomon Fixon Owoo, Sena Fafali Ahiable, and Nigerian skit star Zic Saloma, had their chance to play captivating roles.
“Tripping” unfolds the story of Cole (Hogan), a wealthy heir disillusioned by the chaos surrounding his family’s fortune.
Seeking solace, Cole embarks on an expedition with three close companions, anticipating excitement and temporary respite. However, their journey takes an unexpected turn when they find themselves stranded at a crossroad, unsure of their next move.
As the group grapples with the challenges of their isolated predicament, they chance upon a mysterious hotel nestled across a river.
Their discovery marks a dramatic shift in fortunes as they uncover the hotel’s enigmatic secrets. Tensions mount as buried truths emerge, testing the limits of loyalty, friendship, and personal convictions among travellers.
Amidst the uncertainty, the hotel reveals unexpected secrets, each offering transformative healing beyond imagination.
As Cole and his companions navigate their new-found reality, they must confront inner demons and traverse the complexities of their journey.
Yvonne Nelson assumes the directorial reins, infusing “Tripping” with her distinctive vision and storytelling prowess.
With a track record of impactful contributions to Ghanaian cinema, the multiple award-winning Ghanaian actress is poised to elevate the film’s narrative and captivate audiences with its blend of intrigue, suspense, and emotional depth.
Kwame Nsiah Apau, widely known as Okyeame Kwame, and the Rap Dacta, celebrated his 50th birthday with the release of a rhythmic reggae tune titled “Clap.”
The song shines a spotlight on applauding those making remarkable contributions to society and encourages people to celebrate the successes of their friends and family.
Just a week after its release, “Clap” has garnered widespread positive reactions from influencers across Ghana, Jamaica, America, South Africa, and other parts of the world.
In one of the reaction videos shared by Okyeame Kwame, renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist Richard Nii Armah Quaye, aka RNAQ, expressed his admiration, saying, “Love this song and the lyrics. I want to support its promotion with GHC 100,000. Well done.”
Okyeame Kwame, who had previously promised to build a Paediatric Emergency Ward at Manhyia Hospital in Kumasi before his birthday, would certainly benefit from this generous support for such a meaningful project.
His 50th birthday celebration was a successful all-white event held at +233 Pub and Grill, featuring amazing performances that added to the memorable occasion.
