Shirley Frimpong Manso Says With A Little BUDGET Push, We Can Be at the Oscars Each Year

Multiple award-winning filmmaker-Shirley Frimpong Manso seems to be always charged—ready to lead the campaign to get the Ghanaian Movie Industry the needed international recognition. It is therefore not of any coincidence that her productions keep winning the awards that matter,in Ghana and beyond.

At yesterday’s Cocktail Party organized by MultiChoice Ghana and the Ministry of Tourism, Art and Culture to congratulate and celebrate the Ghanaian winners and nominees of the 2014 AfricaMagic Viewers’ Choice Awards, Shirley Frimpong Manso spoke about how ‘Contract’, the movie that won 4 awards for Ghana came into being.

She also used the opportunity to appeal for financial support to assist Ghanaian movie productions—saying, she knows that if they get even one percent of the budget Hollywood movies get, they will make it to the Oscars each year.
