The director of \u2018A Country called Ghana\u2019, Frank Gharbin, has responded to YouTuber Kwadwo Sheldon\u2019s review of his movie.<\/strong><\/p>\nAccording to him, the YouTuber thrives on negativity and does not know anything about filmmaking.<\/p>\n
This comes after Kwadwo Sheldon and Scanty, in one of their YouTube reviews, shared their opinions on the movie\u2019s trailer.<\/p>\n
Among the things they spoke about included the video colour grading, which they described as terrible.<\/p>\n
Star and producer of the movie, Kwadwo Nkansah, also known as LilWin, has expressed strong disapproval of the content creator\u2019s negative review of the movie.<\/p>\n
LilWin criticized Sheldon for comparing Ghanaian cinema to American productions and suggested that he should have waited for the full movie release before making judgments based on the trailer alone.<\/p>\n
Adding his voice to the development in a recent live interview with Hitz FM, Frank Gharbin stressed the importance of historical accuracy in filmmaking, particularly in aspects like setting, costumes, and colour grading.<\/p>\n
He defended his choices by explaining that a film set in the era of Kwame Nkrumah should not have the bright picture quality of modern 6K cameras.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn filmmaking, the time and place (the setting) matter. It determines the costumes, and mannerisms of the characters. It even determines the colour grading used for the movie.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added \u201cFor example, when you watch videos of the first Independence Day parade with Kwame Nkrumah in 1957 and you watch the Independence Day parades with Akufo-Addo now, you will see that there\u2019s a clear difference between the two. So if I\u2019m doing a movie around the era of Kwame Nkrumah and I give it a very bright picture, it means that even as a filmmaker, I have failed.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we could get the best pictures, but we were looking at the time and place of the action, and we know that everyone who shot with a 6K camera knows that the picture would be very bright,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Gharbin further dismissed Sheldon\u2019s critique, suggesting that the content creator lacks a deep understanding of filmmaking.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me, he (Kwadwo Sheldon) is speaking as a layman, he is naive. He doesn\u2019t know jack about filmmaking. That guy has been using negativity to trend, and it seems it\u2019s working for him. It\u2019s something that he\u2019s been doing.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you ask him anything about filmmaking now, he might not know. He is just an attention seeker, especially as he usually wants to triumph with negativity, so he\u2019s entitled to his opinions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Despite the criticism, Gharbin reassured fans that his commitment to delivering quality movies and visuals remains unwavering.<\/p>\n
He urged Ghanaians to expect high-quality productions that respect the country\u2019s cinematic heritage.<\/p>\n
