Talented Kumawood actor, Kwadwo Nkansah ‘Lil Win’, is appealing to the government to consider creating a sole ministry for the creative arts industry in Ghana.
According to him, if any Ghanaian leader is truly passionate about the creative arts industry, the charge to revive the Ghanaian film industry would be prioritized through the creation of a sector ministry solely for creative arts.
The creative arts sector is under one ministry with the tourism sector. But the actor, who was addressing the media at the premier of his movie, 'Mr. President' at the SG Mall in Kumasi, said the current system affects the creative arts industry.
He believes there is no way a ministry interested in tourism and culture will spend time on the creative arts sector.
The movie industry creates jobs and gives opportunities for many young Ghanaians to earn a living and provide for support for their families.
"Most of our movie stars today have traveled to Nigeria to be part of the Nollywood Youtube shoot in order to survive. Yet, many of these Nigerian producers see Ghana as the home of African film making," he observed.
The renowned actor said “the dream of young actors lie in the hands of private individuals who do not understand film-making.”
Lil Win also shared the view that the Ghanaian movie industry is collapsing due to poor movie content.
"We the filmmakers have really copied blindly and paid less attention to showcasing our real Ghanaian culture and morals which has greatly affected our movie industry," he said.
He added that the industry is declining due to lack of support from both public and private sectors.
