Ghanaian actor, satirist and TV Personality, Kwaku Sintim-Misa [KSM] has taken Ghanaian movie makers to the cleaners due to what he calls poor nature of their movies. Even though he didn’t mention names, he described their movies as “concert” to show his strong aversions.
The actor who doubles as the host of a weekly entertaining program on Metro TV; ‘Thank God it’s Friday’ utterances came at the time when the Ghana Movie Industry has seen a magnificent growth in the areas of costuming, directing, scripting and the equipment used in filming.
The growth has also seen major players in the industry winning prestigious awards in and out the African continent. Also Hollywood movie stars have made appearances in Ghanaian movies but KSM is unmoved.
The country’s stand up comedian in an interview with Adom Entertainment News said movies produced in Ghana over the years are sub-standard and called for a drastic change in the industry.
He said: “Though the [Ghana] movie industry has shown some growth, there is more to be done in order to build a robust industry that can stand the test of time. What we call the movie industry in Ghana is nothing but, excuse my words, concert.”
On what can be done according to him to change the face of the dwindling industry to the level that would see Ghana movies appreciated and stand the test of time. He said, the industry needs more resources to train more professionals.
KSM is one of the characters in Shirley Frimpong-Manso’s ten character movie series; ‘Adams Apples’.
