Popular Ghanaian actress Ebbie Bright has stated emphatically that the
movie industry is doing well but it lacks professionals and that seems
to be the only bane troubling the industry currently.
She made this statement at Golden Tulip Hotel some weeks back during
the women in film making forum which was organized by Archi Africa.
The forum which was moderated by multiple award winning actors Majid
Michel saw some renowned female movie makers like Leila Djansi, Juliet
Appea as well as some movie makers across Africa.
Despite the fact that the theme was built around women in film making,
there were general discussions about the way our movie industry is
being considered by players in it and those out of it. Some notable
personalities in the movie industry who were present included John
Dumelo, Pascal Amanfo, James Gardiner, Prince David Osei, Ebbie Bright
alongside some up and coming stars. The media fraternity was also
highly represented from all quarters including TV, radio and
newspaper.
The forum is a monthly discussion platform to sanitize the movie
industry with experts and players in the movie industry with experts
and players in the movie industry. After Ebbie Bright has kept her
silence throughout the discussion, Flex newspaper reporters noted that
a statement from Leila Djansi who was on the high table as a resource
person infuriated Ebbie Bright to come out with this statement.
"No matter what we do as an industry, this is what we have and this is
what we can boast off so if one feels that we have no industry to
boast off, he or she can leave the industry for us to manage it our
own way.
Sometimes I feel very uneasy when I hear people speaking negative
about Opera Square and what they do there. I think we have to
appreciate them because no matter how poor or disorganized they are at
the moment, they are the same people who are helping us to market our
movies else these movies will never be distributed.
What I have observed in our movie industry which seems problematic is
the fact that our industry lacks professionals. We don't have more
professionals in our movie industry and that is what I believe is
disturbing our movie business.
If we should have more professionals in the industry, trust me,
everything will be fine" actress Ebbie Bright added amidst claps form
forum participants. Ebbie Bright is known in our movie industry as a
notorious young lady who does well in playing the bad girl role.
She is very eloquent in what she does and the industry has accepted
her with open arms. She has featured in productions from Venus Films,
Marhils Production and most of the award winning movie producers in
Ghana.
