KOFTOWN: BENEATH THE SURFACE MOVIE PREMIERE 2026, KOFORIDUA

EVERY CITY HAS A STORY. EVERY STORY HAS SOMETHING BENEATH THE SURFACE. 🎬

Behind every familiar street, every family and every ordinary life lies a story that the outside world may never fully understand.

KOFTOWN: BENEATH THE SURFACE brings those untold realities to the screen through a Ghanaian film rooted in the people, culture and experiences of Koforidua.

On Saturday, 17th October 2026, BKay Studios presents the official movie premiere at the Abba Bentil Andam Theatre Hall, Koforidua Technical University, marking an important milestone for independent filmmaking in the Eastern Region.

A STORY ROOTED IN KOFORIDUA

Written and directed by Issaka Osumanu, professionally known as BKay, the film explores the emotions, ambitions, relationships, conflicts and difficult choices that shape everyday life.

Through themes of family, betrayal and personal ambition, Koftown: Beneath the Surface examines the difference between what people reveal to the world and the realities they carry privately.

Filmed in Koforidua, the production places the city and its people at the center of its storytelling, reflecting the filmmaker's commitment to presenting authentic Ghanaian experiences.

BEHIND THE CAMERA
