Filmmaker and CEO of Liezer-Legacy Productions, Louis Lamis, is advocating for more support from the government to help young creatives succeed in Ghana. Speaking at the Level UP seminar, Lamis highlighted the challenges faced by the industry due to unfulfilled promises from the government.

According to Lamis, the government heavily relies on creatives to communicate their policies and run campaigns, yet they do not provide the necessary support for these individuals to thrive.

He emphasized the importance of creating an enabling environment for creatives to flourish, pointing out the lack of infrastructure and platforms for showcasing Ghanaian talent.

Lamis also raised concerns about the lack of enforcement of copyright laws and weak royalty systems in the country, leaving creators vulnerable to exploitation. He called for stronger legal protection for creatives to encourage innovation and growth in the industry.

The Level UP seminar aims to empower Ghanaian youth by offering coaching and mentoring to help them explore various career options and achieve their goals. Dr. Shalom Addo-Danso, founder of the ASOR mentoring network, emphasized the importance of building up knowledge and skills to prepare for graduate studies and future career opportunities.

Ms. Adwoa Pomaa Danquah, CEO of YAISL’s Kitchen, encouraged youth to develop soft skills that can sustain them beyond their academic pursuits. She urged graduates to acquire basic skills and pursue entrepreneurship to tackle the issue of unemployment in the country.
