Video: A Meeting Between Agya Koo And Film Makers End In Chaos
There was a stakeholders meeting in Kumasi on March 20,2018 between a section of film makers and actor Agya Koo.
The meeting, which was purposely to find an alternative solution to revamp the Kumawood industry rather ended in a heated argument.
Agya Koo claimed he was recently called to be part of some key personalities in the creative arts industry. And has therefore been tasked to expedite action on resolving the movie industry challenges.
Agya Koo, who recently launched his Agya Koo Tv, urged movie producer to form an alliance. This alliance according to him, is to aid in creating one platform where all locally made movies would be uploaded on.
He added that this technological initiative is a pre-eminent choice to revive the ailing film industry. And as well as support producers to recoup the huge sums of money they invest in their movies.
However, some of the producers and directors were not in support of his digitization initiative.According to him, the monetisation of their movie contents is directed to a different source. Therefore film makers cannot influence that course.
“There are so many sabotages with regards to these online channels. Once we as film makers don’t have control over the search engine it becomes so difficult for the movies to be popular. We did a research to look out for online websites where Ghanaian movies are uploaded and we had 623 websites but the money doesn’t come to the owners of these movies.” One of the producers told Agya Koo.
The meeting was held at the Kumasi Culture Center.
