Kumasi-based award-winning actor Bill Asamoah is calling for financial support and investment to help fund history-oriented movies in Ghana.
In an interview on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z last week’s edition which was set to mark Ghana month from the Center for National Culture in Kumasi, on Saturday, March 5, 2022, he made this appeal which he said was going to help the industry tell the history of Ghana through films.
Mr. Asamoah who doubles as the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the Ghana Actors Guild stated that after analyzing submissions of panelists on the story of Okomfo Anokye’s migration from Awukugwa to the Ashanti Kingdom, he finds it necessary for proper funding of the industry to retell these stories.
According to him, this is the time for Ghanaians to subscribe to the essence of filmmaking in the country.
