Born and raised in North York, Fokuoh grew up doing a lot of observing in his community. Raised by immigrant parents of Ghanaian descent, he was encouraged to turn his observations into storytelling. Combining storytelling with his love for visuals and detail, Fokuoh realized that visual storytelling was his calling. His unique view on everyday life and interactions are a key element in what he offers to the development and creation of a film. Fokuoh has directed three documentaries and two short films. He currently works for the National Basketball League of Canada as an editor and producer. Fokuoh has always believed in respect and empathy and applies that philosophy to his work and co-workers. He graduated from St. Clair College with a diploma in Journalism and a graduate certificate in Media Convergence. He later graduated from Fanshawe College with a graduate certificate in Advanced Filmmaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Directed by Jeremy James Fokuoh Country of Origin Canada Runtime 11:15 Category Short Film English teacher Kofi Frimpong is starting classes once again for immigrants at a local language school in Toronto.
