‘I would like to direct Yvonne Nelson’s memoir into a movie’—Ivan Quashigah

Ghanaian filmmaker and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Farmhouse Productions, Ivan Quashigah has expressed keen interest in directing a movie or a play using Yvonne Nelson’s recently released memoir.

According to the CEO of Farmhouse Productions, his admiration for the actress started at a meeting for the production of his television series, “Fortune Island.”

He stated in an interview on Hitz FM that Yvonne Nelson is a multifaceted talent who has grown exponentially over the years.

“I am not surprised because when I first met Yvonne, right after she did the Miss Ghana competition, and I was looking for stars for ‘Fortune Island’, my self-produced Television series, I saw something in her, she actually rapped during the casting and she did a lot of things that made me see that she has several facets to herself and I knew that she was not only going to become a great actress, but she will do so many other things and this is one of those things and I’m very proud about what I’m seeing today,” Ivan Quashigah said.

He continued “Already, I was speaking with George Quaye when he said that he would like to put it on stage and I think that it’s something that we have to consider putting unto the screens as well and I will be honored to direct it.”

In her recently released book, “I Am Not Yvonne Nelson,” Ghanaian actress and filmmaker Yvonne Nelson opened up about various significant events in her life.

Notable among the revealing details include a past relationship with renowned rapper Sarkodie.

Chapter 8 of the book sheds light on the past relationship which resulted in her aborting a baby in 2010 after the award-winning rapper impregnated her.
