Hollywood filmmaker, Angela White has disclosed her disappointment with the government of Ghana following the lack of support for her film projects in the country.<\/p>\n
Stating her concerns during a panel discussion at this year\u2019s Essence Festival in New Orleans, Louisiana which started on Thursday, June 29, the renowned filmmaker said she is likely to take her next projects to South Africa after \u2018Nine\u2019 last year.<\/p>\n
Already, Angela White is making plans to release her latest movie titled \u2018Nine\u2019 which was shot in Accra, starring a Pan-African cast including Ghana\u2019s very own Chris Attoh, Kate Henshaw from Nigeria, Rosemary Zimu from South Africa among a host of other stars.<\/p>\n
The CEO of Silver Lining Entertainment in May revealed on a TV show in Ghana that \u201cNine\u201d is an international thriller about good vs evil featuring nine warrior assassins.<\/p>\n
She mentioned that Ghanaian actor, Chris Attoh was very instrumental in bringing the project to Ghana but it seems Angela is not excited about the lack of support from the government of Ghana.<\/p>\n
\u00a0The project employed a crew of over 120 talented individuals and featured a stellar cast comprising more than 50 actors, with filming taking place in Ghana\u2019s capital, Accra.<\/p>\n
But Angela White had some concerns and shared this experience in Ghana I her submission, \u201cI brought a lot of revenue to Ghana and the reason why my next project, probably South Africa, is because I got nowhere with the Ghanaian government.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt really became a battle and so I\u2019m happy to see Idris take this fight because if they don\u2019t start getting country credits, the work\u2019s gonna go to South Africa.\u201d She commended the efforts of the likes of Idris Elba, who has been actively championing Ghana\u2019s growing film industry.<\/p>\n
Angela White, who has worked on a number of productions including \u20184Play\u2019, \u2018The Last Letter\u2019, \u2018The Sin Seer\u2019, My Favourite Five\u2019 was however hopeful the government of Ghana will come to recognise the economic benefits and cultural exchange that foreign partnerships brings.<\/p>\n
