In a recent development, Ghanaian movie producer and actor Fiifi Coleman has warned producers against depending on media house payments for movie production [3c3dfd3b]. Coleman explains that it is expensive to produce movies in Ghana compared to the value media houses place on them. He advises producers to avoid creating projects based on how much a network is willing to pay, as it limits creativity. Coleman emphasizes the importance of having the right channels of distribution to recoup investments. His comments were made in response to actor Mikki Osei Berko's call for the prosecution of media houses that show international telenovelas during prime time. Coleman states that producers should not expect to receive the same amount of money from any media house in Ghana and that prime time belongs to the TV station, not the country. He suggests that if Ghanaian movie producers want their content to be aired during prime time, they should produce content that matches the quality of foreign telenovelas.
Kyekyeku's successful movie premiere and Coleman's warning highlight the challenges and considerations faced by movie producers in Ghana. While Kyekyeku celebrates his achievement and plans for future projects, Coleman cautions against relying solely on media house payments and emphasizes the need for creativity and effective distribution strategies in the industry.
