Fifi Folson takes new film Viralogy to Onua TV's Awia Bre ahead of cinema debut

Fifi Folson, a well-known media figure, gave a sneak preview of his latest film, Viralogy: Caught in the Web, on Onua TV's Awia Bre program. The film starred Folson alongside gospel singer Jayana. On November 14, Viralogy premiered at Silverbird Cinemas in Accra Mall and West Hills Mall, running approximately 90 minutes in English.

The movie follows the lives of three high school girls in a digital age where social media determines popularity, smartphones make content readily available, and artificial intelligence blurs the lines between reality and fiction.

Prior to the cinema release, Folson shared portions of the film during an interview on Onua TV's YouTube channel on November 13. The complete interview remains available on the channel. The cast also includes Adjetey Anang, Alvina Cooper, Farida Obaayaa Sani, Madonna Oppong, Nii Saka Brown, Ulasi Emmanuella, and Folson himself. Jayana, known as a gospel musician and songwriter, appears alongside the rest of the cast and is credited as Jemima Annor-Yeboah. Maxwell Owusu-Manu is the film's director.

Folson, a seasoned broadcaster and master of ceremonies, began his career in radio, hosting Sunny FM's drive show for over a decade. He once hosted Footprint TV, a Christian entertainment magazine show, which later evolved into a television network. He subsequently established the Christian online station, KristoCentric. Local filmmakers have been advocating for increased attendance of Ghanaian films at the box office, echoing Yvonne Okoro's plea for more support for domestic productions.
