Hey Chris,

I just came across the article below published on PeaceFm, Ghana Nation and other Ghanaian websites.

Please help me out and tell me what is the definition of ‘Hollywood’ movie.  There are thousands of movies produced per year here in the USA and more than half of them are not considered ‘Hollywood’ movies.

Is it me or are some people in Nollywood and Ghallywood  are so stupid as to believe that when someone comes from America to make a movie it is suddenly “Hollywood”?  I get so damned aggravated when I read these foolishness.

Do they know the number of movies made in Miami alone because some drug dealer wants to launder his money? Believe me they are not “Hollywood” movies and will never be considered as such.

I think it is high time Ghanaians stop being delusional about this Hollywood thing and get educated about the facts.

Regards,

Kath xxx

True. The Game, is an example. Sometimes it seems creativity in our industry is dead in the water. Truth be told.
