Creative Arts need a sole ministry – Kwadwo Nkansah

 

The actor makes a plea to the government to take into account setting up an office for the sector in order to revitalize the Ghanaian film industry and other creative spaces; in his opinion, giving the sector priority will improve the industry's appearance.

Speaking at the Kumasi premiere of his most recent film, Lil Win said that the current status of the system impacts both creatives and the business as a whole, adding that the aspirations of young performers are in the hands of untrained private persons.

He thinks there is no chance that a ministry focused on tourism and culture will devote attention to the field of the creative arts.

Many young Ghanaians have opportunity to earn a living and support their families through the movie industry, which provides jobs and income."To live, the majority of today's movie stars have moved to Nigeria to take part in the Nollywood YouTube production. However, many of these Nigerian film producers consider Ghana to be the birthplace of African cinema. Lil Win also expressed the opinion that the Ghanaian film industry is failing as a result of subpar films.

"We the filmmakers have really copied blindly and paid less attention to showcasing our real Ghanaian culture and morals, which has greatly affected our movie industry," he claimed.

He makes a plea to the public and commercial sector to assist in improving the sector's image.
