Yvonne Nelson Seeks Support To Petition Government Over ‘Dying Movie Industry’ In Ghana
Ghanaian award-winning actress, Yvonne Nelson, is asking for support
from colleague film makers to petition government over the challenges
facing the Ghanaian movie industry.
In a long letter she posted on her instagram page to stakeholders, the
actress said: “We have heard some of our own on countless occasions
slamming the industry for its decline with the favourite words ‘Ghana
movie industry is dead’.
It is quiet disturbing to hear these words being uttered when asked
about our industry. A once well-structured industry with lots of
entertainment to give cannot, and will not be abandoned for it to be
ruined.”
“We aim to present a petition to the President and the Minister of
Tourism, Creative arts and Culture citing the difficulties facing us in
the industry. We want to bring unity to all industry players, we aim to
uplift the Ghana movie industry again for the better by making sure
there is allocation of special funds for producers, right payment
structures for all involved in the industry especially the thespians,
royalties and its right disbursement, local content being the major
viewers’ choice on our networks and allocation of cinema halls in five
major regions across the country,” she stated.
