Struggling Ghanaian Movie Stars Are Producing Their Own Movies

TON can confirm that, the rate at which Ghanaian film producers used to shoot English films some months back has fallen. In about a period of three months, our camera lenses have captured only six (6) producers shooting within three (3) months, unlike some years back when 20 or 30 movies were shot in a month.

One may say the low turn up in shooting has also contributed to the fact that the few producers that are currently on location are not employing the services of the actors, who have started shooting their own movies. 

Van Vicker one of the most popular actors who took a French leave from the industry and came back amidst a stiff competition to the extent that majority of the film producers also couldn't meet his demands. He went extinct on the Ghanaian movie scene and has now entered into production so he can produce and star in his own movies.

Goldie And I Were Supposed To Dazzle Africa At The First Ever #AMVCA – Denrel



Channel O’s Denrele Edun is set to host the first ever Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards on Saturday, March 9. Red carpets belongs to Denrele, he handles red carpet sessions well, but Saturday’s session will be different; he is missing a true friend who he’d have loved to have with him on this day.
For a lesser man, we’ll watch him make many mistakes on the red carpet; say something wrong to a star, ask irrelevant questions, or even start a fight off camera-that’s how hard it is to lose a friend, a very close one. But if there is anything I know about Denrele, it is handling pressure well. The emotional pressure won’t weigh him down, rather he’d be as energetic and eccentric as ever.
