Ghanaian filmmaker and visionary behind the once-thriving Kumawood Awards, Mr. Samuel Darko, known widely in the industry as SamDakus, has finally broken his silence on why the prestigious award scheme was abruptly halted and his reasons are as explosive as they are heartbreaking.
Speaking candidly in an interview on SeanCity TV with media personality Ruthy Mummy DeNelson, the multi-faceted producer and director revealed that the Kumawood Awards was suspended due to a painful lack of sponsorship and even more disturbingly, a lack of support from his own people within the Kumawood film space, particularly in Kumasi.
