Invite Movie Makers To Discuss The Way Forward – Juliet Ibrahim

Ghanaian actress, Juliet Ibrahim re-ignites the discussion about the movie industry.

Moreover, she asked the leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, to invite movie makers for a discussion.

Juliet spoke about this in an interview with Nana Adwoa Sarkordie of Citi TV. Also, she stated that it was wrong for Gabby to have judged Ghanaian movies with just 10 movies.

“It is unfortunate that he will generalize something like that because we don’t even know the movies he watched.

You can’t just put everyone into the same box because some of us are trying so hard.

The likes of Yvonne Nelson, Kafui Danku and the likes, we are all trying so hard to do movies that put Ghana on the global map” 

Furthermore, Ibrahim added that the Hollywood comparison as distasteful.

“If you come making statement like that it makes us all look stupid, excuse me to say. You can’t compare us to Hollywood, how can you do that?

No one even compares Nollywood to Hollywood, you want us to be like them when we don’t have the support and equipment” 

Therefore, she called on Gabby to invite the stakeholders and tell them what specifically is wrong with the movie industry, than lump all movie makers together as not impacting society.

“Invite us if possible and tell us that this is what you watched and this is how we can make it better.

We need more corporate bodies to invest in our industry to enable us get it back to where it was or better”
