Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, has inaugurated a 17-member committee to revitalize the Kumawood movie industry.

The committee includes actors such as Mercy Asiedu and Bill Asamoah, along with representatives from various guilds.

Chaired by Bishop Ofori-Adu, the committee has been tasked with spearheading efforts to rejuvenate Kumawood, which has experienced a decline in recent years.

Today, I officially commissioned a Ministerial Committee on the Movie Industry & Creatives (Kumawood) to drive the growth and transformation of Ghana’s film and creative arts sector.

The committee has been tasked with:

• Assessing the current state of the industry and identifying key challenges.
• Developing policies to attract investment and ensure sustainable growth.
• Exploring strategies to promote Ghanaian films both locally and internationally.
• Strengthening film infrastructure by improving production facilities and training opportunities.
• Enhancing film festivals and cultural showcases to celebrate Ghanaian storytelling and creativity.
• Fostering collaboration between stakeholders to create more opportunities for filmmakers, actors, and creatives.

I urged the committee members to carry out their mandate with dedication, commitment, and a strong sense of unity to ensure that Kumawood and the entire creative industry reach new heights. Together, we will build a globally competitive film industry that tells the rich stories of Asanteman and Ghana!
