Veteran Ghallywood actor, Kofi Adjorlolo has added his two cents to the Ghanaian movie industry which has never been stable anyway.
He has opined that it is bad economy that has affected the movie industry— he believes the low patronage of the Ghanaian movies is at the back of poverty and bad economy.
Speaking to Graphic Online in an interview Wednesday, he lamented:
“If the economy is robust and booming, that is when you have people buying movies and getting interested in watching movies. But there have been some challenges and these challenges are setting us back”.
“We have always spoken about this and that is why we actually have the Creative Arts Bill which has been passed through Parliament and is waiting for Executive approval so it is a very good idea. Inclusive of that bill is government support for the movie industry development.
“I think presently, the government that we have will be more concerned to help our industry move in that direction. I hope they will put quite an amount of money to fund creative arts in tomorrow’s budget.”
“We have producers and some directors who haven’t learn the job very well and sometimes when you are working with them you see that they need to get more skilled. There are very young directors in the system and I will advice them to get more skilled because at times you watch movies and you don’t feel it, am I lying?”
