Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Majid Michel, one of Ghana’s best and most gifted movie actors who is adored by everyone has suggested that all the industry participants in the Ghanaian film fraternity should come together in unison to build their studio to avoid challenges like scouting for locations during film productions, among others, from ending.
He made this assertion on GTV’s breakfast show.
According to Majid, he said, “an industry is an economic activity concerned with the processing of raw materials, and they are probably talking about a union”. “When we are going on set, we take ourselves there and that makes us the raw material, the writer puts in on a script and then to a screenplay. So we take that raw material and produce something out of it and that alone is an industry”, he added.
He continued by saying, “if another person does another movie it is another industry, so they are probably talking about that union that is all the industries coming together to build a studio and so Ghana does have an industry even if it is only one movie we have produced if anyone should come to Ghana and look for the movie industry, they will point to us”.
This follows a statement made by American actor and director Shelton Jackson, better known by his stage name Spike Lee, who said that before visiting Ghana, he was unaware of the existence of the Ghanaian film industry.
