We were doing what we could because we had low budgeted movies, but that didn\u2019t mean we didn\u2019t have good stories.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have good scripts that are still on the shelves because the cost involved is too much. With the film development fund, industry players can actually source  funds to produce world class movies which will project Ghana\u2019s rich culture on the world market,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Kumawood actor further expressed his gratitude to President John Dramani Mahama and the Tourism Minister for coming up with the Film Bill, which will help industry players to work as professionals and make a mark on the world market.<\/p>\n<p>The new Act will provide the legal framework for the production, regulation, nurturing and development of the local film industry. It will also regulate the distribution, exhibition and marketing of films and other related matters.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 31 updated by: 26 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Friday, 28 October 2016 Source: Daily Heritage 2016-10-28 Bill Asamoah The President of the Actors Guild in the Ashanti Region, Bill Asamoah, has expressed excitement over the passage of the Film Bill into an Act.
