Ghanaian skit maker and filmmaker Ben South has revealed that he spent about GH¢60,000 on the production of his upcoming movie titled 24.
Speaking to Kwame Dadzie on Joy FM's Showbiz A-Z, Ben South said this is his second movie project after building a strong reputation through his popular online skits.
“Some of the actors took GH¢2,000, some took GH¢3,000. The entire budget for the production is 5,000 dollars, that is GH¢ 60,000 cedis,” he disclosed.
Explaining the choice of title, Ben South said he wanted something unpredictable. According to him, some movie titles give away too much of the storyline, but he wanted to create curiosity and suspense.
“I chose the title ‘24’ so people could not easily predict the story line,” he added.
24 features actors Maame Serwaa, AJ Brown, and Quecy Official who have all appeared in several Ghanaian short films and digital series.
Ben South, known for his creative skits on YouTube and social media, previously produced the short film Wrong Target, which earned positive reviews for its direction and cinematography.
The filmmaker hinted that 24 explores human emotions and moral choices within a 24-hour period and will premiere later this year.
