Nine months after its Hollywood style premiere at the National Theatre, the movie that has ignited hope for the Ghanaian film industry, ‘Run Baby Run’ will from Monday, November 19, go on sale around the country in VCD format and an excited Emmanuel Apea, the film director hopes that "with the interest it’s generated so far, putting it on VCD format from the high definition it was shot in will give a lot of our film enthusiasts the opportunity to gain from the great entertainment it offers as well as get some good quality viewing".

In another six months, the movie, which is a great contemporary commentary on today’s youth and fast money, will be made available for home viewing on the better quality DVD and distributed through selected outlets all over the country.

The DVD will have such extra footage as director’s commentary, uncut deleted scenes and other juicy bits about the ‘making’ of the movie. That will be a first by any indigenous Ghanaian production

‘Run Baby Run’ also received a high profile presence at this year’s SABC (South African Broadcasting Company) ‘Africa On film’ Festival, where director Emmanuel Apea jnr., was toasted to massive media attention in SA, and at ‘Cinefest’ in Sudbury, Canada and then later on at FESPACO in Ouagadougou.

The film, a 128 odd minute feature, was received with great enthusiasm, when it was screened to its first public audience at the National Theatre, and became an instant hit.

Not new to the big screen, Apea has not only scripted, directed and co-produced the Juliet Asante starring ‘Killing Me Softly’ some ten years ago, which also set a standard in the industry then, but has since been the director to high acclaim on TV series ‘Taxi Driver’, and his own Revele Films produced entertaining family sitcom, ‘Home Sweet Home’, and ‘Hotel St. James’.

Filmed in diverse locations in Accra, Tamale, Akosombo and Kumasi in Ghana, and London, Birmingham and Manchester in the United Kingdom, ‘Run Baby Run’ is set against the backdrop of drug trafficking and dealing, the film tells a story of London based Ghanaian schoolboy Enoch Sarpong Jnr., (John Apea, ‘Home Sweet Home’) who upon realising his visiting little sister picked the wrong case at the airport which contains a hoard of cocaine, instead of returning if to its owners, devices a plan to off-load the merchandise.

The result is a roller coaster dash after his own shadow, from the dealers in far away Liverpool, Manchester and London in the UK, and from the gang of the Kingpin, Topp Dogg (Kofi Bucknor, ‘Heritage Africa’) back home in Ghana.

With plans ahead for a lucrative international distribution deal, Ghanaians get the chance to experience this homebred entertainment experience before it becomes too late. Made by Revele Films, here is one feature that every Ghanaian must be proud off!
