Ghanaian star actress, Yvonne Nelson, says she has been able to fund her movie production company in Ghana from the proceeds of her roles in Nigerian films.
The top Ghanaian actress, who spoke on how the Ghana movie industry can be revived, said: “It can, if John Dumelo, Jackie Appiah, Yvonne Okoro, Van Vicker, we all become producers. I believe everyone is going to see it, you know, the revival will be seen. I am urging people, not just outsiders or people who have money, we can do it on our own.
“I can’t be the only one going around talking and saying let’s do this, people can see that we are not even bothered about the industry, we don’t care if it crashes or not so yeah if we can all start producing and helping the younger ones also showcase their talents, I believe we will start from somewhere.”
Continuing she said: “There is money in film, I started in 2010 so I have been using the same money you know. I have made some decent money from Nigeria, so that money I didn’t touch it, it is for production.
“I have my production account so that is what I have been using to produce all these movies, and luckily for me some of my past productions I got like placement money from companies to do placements and stuff. It’s been rewarding if you know what you are doing and your movies are good.”
She has produced movies such as ‘The Price’, ‘Single and Married’, ‘House of Gold’, ‘If tomorrow never comes’, and her latest movie ‘The men we love.’
