The Head of Zylofon Media Production, Enoch Atakorah, has lauded President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s $25 million investment in Ghana’s film industry.
According to Mr. Atakorah who doubles as the CEO of Holy fame Production, the investment will go a long way to support movie stakeholders who are doing their best to revamp the already dead industry.
Mr. Enock Atakorah lauded the President in an exclusive interview with African Entertainment.
He said “The investment has come at the right time to support the film makers who are striving hard to revamp the industry”.
“I urge all stakeholders who are going to be in charge of the project not to be selective in their dealings so as not to jeopardize the President’s dreams of making the industry vibrant and competitive,” he said.
“We all have to come together and support this move because movies contribute to the happiness of the people as well promoting our arts and culture,’’ he said.
Mr. Atakorah added that movie producers are capable of generating storylines that could compete on the international film market but their problems were always associated with lack of financing which he believes the President’s investment could make a huge difference.
The Presidential Film Pitch Series was launched on Wednesday, April 28, 2021, at the Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel in Accra by the President, Nana Akufo-Addo.
The Presidential Film Pitch Series is a film activation program in Ghana aimed at creating a platform for Ghanaian filmmakers with projects within the film ecosystem to engage investors, broadcasters, distributors, sponsors, and platforms around the world for potential opportunities.
The Series platform is expected to lead the production of some 200 films and generate over 40,000 jobs annually.
