Prosper Dossey has successfully completed a filmmaking training programme launched by the Member of Parliament for Ketu South and Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Abla Dzifa Gomashie, aimed at empowering young people in the constituency with practical creative skills.
The training, organised by the Office of the MP for Ketu South, forms part of efforts to equip aspiring filmmakers with hands-on knowledge to participate in Ghana’s expanding creative industry.
Held in Ketu South, the programme focused on practical learning, allowing participants to work directly with modern film production equipment while receiving guidance from industry professionals.
Speaking during the training, Madam Gomashie said the initiative was designed to go beyond theory and expose participants to real-life filmmaking processes.
“We want young people to understand the process by working with the equipment and learning directly from professionals who are active in the industry,” she stated.
The one-week intensive masterclass was facilitated by filmmaker Ivan Quashigah and his production team. Sessions covered key aspects of film production, including directing, cinematography and editing.
To enhance the practical experience, an existing ICT centre at the MP’s office was converted into a functional film studio, giving participants the opportunity to engage in real production environments.
Prosper Dossey, who completed the programme in January 2026, received a certificate in Film Production, recognising his successful participation and commitment to developing skills in filmmaking.
Madam Gomashie, who has spent over four decades in the creative arts industry, said the initiative reflects her commitment to nurturing young talent and creating opportunities for the next generation of creatives in Ketu South.
She expressed optimism that beneficiaries of the programme would leave with improved confidence and a clearer sense of direction in pursuing careers within the creative arts sector.
The filmmaking training also aligns with broader efforts to promote Ghanaian culture through film and media, both locally and among Ghanaians in the diaspora.
