Taking the Plunge: My First Short Film is Coming!

Jamall Appiah

For years, my head has been a whirlwind of stories, characters, and scenes just waiting to burst onto the scene. I've spent countless hours lost in these imagined worlds, and now, I'm finally ready to bring one to life. I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be producing my first short film in February!

This isn't just about making a movie; it's about tackling a question that has resonated with me for decades. It's a story I believe is impactful, one that will hopefully stimulate conversations and make people think. The excitement is bubbling over!

Of course, being Ghanaian, the inevitable question arises: is making a movie right now a profitable venture? Especially considering I'm looking at potentially self-funding this entire project. Am I guaranteed a return on investment? Honestly, no. But this is a path I've chosen, a creative itch I need to scratch.

Drawing inspiration from Steve Jobs' philosophy of "less is more" and intense focus, I'm choosing to dive in, learn, and get better with each iteration. It's about the journey, the artistic expression, and the desire to share this story with the world.

So, it's official: production kicks off in February 2026! I'm currently exploring funding opportunities to help bring this vision to its full potential. Any support, big or small, would be incredible.

And for those wondering if I'll be stepping in front of the camera myself... well, let's just say that's still up in the air! We'll see how things develop.

This is a huge undertaking, but I'm incredibly excited and motivated. Stay tuned for more updates as the project progresses!

Wish me luck!
