An alumnus of Koforidua Technical University, Issaka Osumanu, popularly known as Bkay, is making waves in the film and digital industry with two exciting projects.

The 2019 HND Computer Science graduate has been working diligently on "KOFTOWN: Beneath the Surface", a film shot in Koforidua, Eastern Region, showcases the rich Ghanaian culture and creative abilities to the world.

Issaka Osmanu (Bkay), who also did his National Service at the ICT Directorate of the University, explained that his “journey began as a dream—a dream to tell a story rooted in our people, our culture, our struggles, our aspirations, and the realities that exist beneath what we often see on the surface”.

According to him, “As a filmmaker from Koforidua, he has always believed that our indigenous stories deserve to be told with authenticity, passion, and excellence.

Too often, our communities are seen only through a narrow lens. With KOFTOWN: Beneath the Surface, we wanted to go deeper. We wanted to explore the hidden emotions, relationships, ambitions, conflicts, and choices that shape the lives of ordinary people”.

In a related development, the alumnus has also launched the Bkay Studios App, a digital distribution platform, created to support filmmakers, content creators, and storytellers across Ghana and Africa. He intimated that, “one of the greatest challenges facing creatives today is distribution. He said, many great stories are created, but only a few find their way to the audiences they deserve.

He stated that, the Bkay Studios App aims to bridge that gap by creating a platform where creators can distribute their content directly to audiences, showcase their work, and build sustainable careers through digital technology.

He noted “The platform will serve as a home for original films, series, documentaries, exclusive content, behind-the-scenes features, and future productions from Bkay Studios and, ultimately, other creatives who share our vision for African storytelling”.

The past KTU student believes that “creating great content is important, but creating access to that content is equally important. The Bkay Studios App, according to him, represents our commitment not only to producing stories but also to ensuring those stories reach audiences both locally and globally”.

With "KOFTOWN: Beneath the Surface" and the Bkay Studios App, Issaka Osumanu is paving the way for African storytelling and supporting local creatives.

Bkay's success story is a proof of KTU’s ability to nurture creativity, tech skills, and entrepreneurial spirit.
