Veteran Ghanaian actor Ekow Smith Asante pointed out that the Ghanaian film industry lacks a proper name by which it can be recognised.
According to him, all movie company identities in Ghana, such as Ghallywood and Kumawood, which are utilised in place of the Ghana movie industry, are for private individuals and thus lack identity.
“I don’t think we (the movie industry) has a name; we are referred to as actors. I’m very serious, but if they have one, I don’t know”, Ekow Smith said.
“We don’t have an identity. Ghallywood is not for us, it’s for a private person and I know that Kumawood is for somebody”, Mr Ekow Smith Asante said in an interview with Kingdom FM monitored by MyNewsGH.com.
Speaking to Fiifi Pratt on the show Afro Joint, Ekow Smith maintained that he will do everything to ensure people know that the Ghana film industry lacks an identity at any time and in any place.
“So far as I’m an actor, even when you ask me on the BBC, I will tell you I don’t think we have a name”, he noted.
