The Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, has inaugurated a 17-member ministerial committee tasked with revitalizing the region’s declining film industry, popularly known as Kumawood.
With Kumawood facing a downturn in recent years, the committee has been charged with developing a strategic framework to rejuvenate the industry and create sustainable employment opportunities for industry players.
The committee comprises representatives from various sectors of the film industry, including veteran actors Oheneyere Mercy Asiedu and Bill Asamoah. It will be chaired by Bishop Ofori-Adu.
Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony on Tuesday, March 4, Dr. Amoakohene urged the members to remain united and dedicated to their mandate, emphasizing the importance of teamwork in achieving their objectives.
“We as leaders of the country, all we need from you is to unite and work together, because that unity will encourage the president to push more effort to revive the industry. So unity is very key to us as far as the issue is concerned.”
