My Own Colleagues Never Supported Me When I Wanted To ‘Resurrect’ The Movie Industry– Yvonne Nelson

Yvonne Nelson believes in the movie industry.

Ghanaian actress and producer, Yvonne Nelson states her frustrations with revamping the movie industry. Moreover, according to her, her efforts failed because there is no unity amongst actors and actresses.

Furthermore, Yvonne Nelson started a campaign to gather signatures from actors and actresses. This was in order to petition President Nana Akufo Addo. It was over the deteriorating nature of the movie industry. However, it never saw the light of day all because her colleagues never supported her course.

Also, she added that only a few colleagues such as Kweku Elliot, Majid Michel, Kafui Danku and others supported. She attributed the failure of that campaign to lack of unity in the movie industry.

Yvonne Nelson’s statement on campaign

“I thought I could get my colleagues together to gather signatures. However, some wondered why is it only Yvonne Nelson always coming up with such ideas so I fell back a little. I will say kudos to Kafui Danku, Kweku Elliot, Majid Michel and Lucky Lawson. They were very supportive. However, I realised the industry was not ready for that, just because we are not united”.

Furthermore, they asked if she had given up the campaign. She replied;

“The project is still there but I realised it would be very difficult, we are not united. I sent emails out, left forms at various points but like I said, people just didn’t want to do it because they thought someone wanted to be popular that is why she was doing it, but if I wanted to see the president to have a talk I believe I could, but I was trying to get all of us involved but it is quite difficult”.
