Few weeks ago, Kumawood Entertainment and Concept Developers with support from major stakeholders of the film industry launched a new film festival ‘Kumawood Film Festival’ and award scheme ‘Akoben Movie Awards‘.
The event aims at rewarding Actors, Actresses, Writers, Directors, Producers, Technician and other personalities in the local film making industry in Ghana.
It is also to provide opportunities for film makers to have spotlight on their films and also aims at promoting, supporting indigenous Ghanaian film making.
Many players from that part of the industry have lauded the concept. On his part, half Ghanaian and half French actor cum director who is based in Kumasi, George Berthou has faulted the organisers for hurriedly launching the awards.
He told GhanaCelebrities.Com that, he felt the organisers rushed to outdoor the awards: “Definitely, I think the program and some of the things were not well put. Some of the things were not well arranged. The organisation weren’t well up to scratch.”
