It is totally wrong and we want to erode that perception. It is time for the gospel to go beyond church into every faction of life,\u201d Pascal Amanfo said.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nMovie industry<\/p>\n<p>Touching on the movie industry, the director added his voice to the public call for the building of more cinemas.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the use of DVDs are getting extinct hence building of cinemas will help grow the movie industry.<\/p>\n<p>He stressed that, if more cinemas are built in different parts of the country, it will serve as a medium to promote local movies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe challenges in the industry go way beyond the sale of movies. There are very fundamental challenges in terms of structures that need to be put in place. We need more cinemas because DVDs are going extinct in the country and internet platforms are being pirated as well. We need to go back to the old way of filmmaking and that is to show movies in cinemas,\u201d the director said.<\/p>\n<p>Pascal Amanfo is an award-winning film director. In 2015, he disclosed that he will be concentrating on living a life that pleases God. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ualuklsxwnE\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 65 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Friday, 20 October 2017 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2017-10-20 Film director Pascal Amanfo &#13; Film director Pascal Amanfo says celebrities are coming together to champion Christ\u2019s message to erode the negative perception people have about them.
