The Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, has taken a proactive step towards reviving the declining film industry in the region by inaugurating a 17-member ministerial committee.
This committee, which includes representatives from various sectors of the film industry, is specifically focused on rejuvenating Kumawood and creating sustainable employment opportunities for industry players.
Recognizing the challenges that Kumawood has faced in recent years, Dr. Amoakohene emphasized the importance of unity and teamwork among committee members during the swearing-in ceremony.
He highlighted the significance of collaboration in achieving their objectives and urged the members to remain dedicated to their mandate.
The committee, chaired by Bishop Ofori-Adu and featuring veteran actors such as Oheneyere Mercy Asiedu and Bill Asamoah, has been tasked with developing a strategic framework to breathe new life into the film industry.
Dr. Amoakohene believes that unity among industry stakeholders will not only benefit Kumawood but also encourage the government to provide additional support for its revival efforts.
With this ministerial committee in place, there is renewed hope for Kumawood and the broader film industry in the Ashanti Region.
