Ghanaian actress Joycelyn Dumas has recounted her experience in working with Shirley Frimpong Manso in the movie industry.

According to her, the movie producer is passionate about craft and helps project great ideas and pitches.

Speaking with Doreen Avio on Daybreak Hitz, she refuted claims about Shirley being hard stating she is just determined.

“She doesn't work with people that are disinterested in the craft. She's quite professional and very passionate so if you don't come in with that same attitude, then she fails as a director as well. So she needs all of us to come together with our A game.”

“If you want to call that hard, then she knows what she wants. She's a perfectionist and she would not compromise on her perfection. So she will tell you the only thing you have to do as an actor is know your lines and then when you come, you leave the rest for the director”, she said on Hitz FM.

She also highlighted scenarios where the producer is likely to get frustrated because of crew’s inactiveness.

“If you don't know your lines, then why are you even there? Cause you only have one job and so when you don't do it, it frustrates her because then she's not able to also direct you properly”, she added.

She further related Shirley’s set to that of a teacher-student engagement which always had great impact on their projects.

“Anytime you're on Shirley’s set, it's almost like you're back in school. Cause, every time I'm on a set, it doesn't matter that the project, it feels like I'm just working with her for the first time because every project is different. She brings something new, something refreshing on every project”, she stated.

She also mentioned Shirley Frimpong Manso as one of the best individuals one could work with.

“If you are able to work together as a team and you know your lines, I think Shelly is one of the easiest people to work with”, she said.
