He lauded the high quality movie production  of Ms Shirley Frimpong, a Ghanaian Movie award-winning playwright and  described her productions as one of the \u201cbright sparks\u201d of hope for  lofty quality standards that, according to him, was emerging in the  Ghanaian film industry.<br \/>\nProf Abraham cited \u201cthe little  beginning\u201d of Hollywood movie production as an example, and expressed  optimism that Ghana would gradually match up to international quality  standard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Constant education for players in the film industry has been identified as effective corrective measure to clamp down on pornography and sub-standard content that has besieged Ghanaian movie production.
