After the below post, I spoke to the founder of the Ghana Movie Awards-Fred Nuamah who explained that, the PRESS RELEASE that was sent out failed to capture the reason why some percentage of the Award’s night proceeds will go to the ‘Kwabena Kwabena Save Heart Campaign’.
According to Mr. Fred Nuamah, the Ghana Movie Awards Foundation pledged some amount of money when Kwabena Kwabena launched his campaign few months ago—and they intend to fulfill their pledge with some of the proceeds from the 2013 Ghana Movie Awards ticket sales.
The 2013 Ghana Movie Awards was launched at the Golden Tulip yesterday in the face of speculations that this year’s Award Ceremony was not going to be held…
The fairly colourful event was attended by Minister for Tourism, Culture & Creative Arts- Mrs. Elizabeth Ofosu Agyare; Mr. Steve Asare Hackman, President of Film Producers Association, John Dumelo, Sonnie Badu, James Gadner, Ekow Smith Jnr., Vivian Achor, Eddie Nartey and others…
It is being reported that; some of the proceedings from the actual Award Ceremony to be held on December 30, will go to support “Kwabena Kwabena Save a Heart” campaign, courtesy of the Ghana Movie Awards foundation…
And my question is; what happened to the WHOLE proceed going to help the already struggling Ghana Movie Industry?
I am not by any means undermining Kwabena Kwabena’s campaign but it is only fair and prudent, that money raised from the awards’ night be channelled towards the betterment of the STRUGLING industry—else, where will the award be in the next few years when the industry collapses?
Surely, you do not live your home in chaos in an attempt to safeguard your neighbourhood. You fix your home first and when things are in other, you can extend your humanitarian deeds to that of others…Could this be an issue of misplaced priority?
John Dumelo has a Film School…Couldn’t some of the proceeds go there as a REAL and necessary investment in the Movie Industry where the money is coming from?
Anyway, check out the below photos from the launch…
i wish u had a heart disease. then i will know what u would have said.. if there are sick people with heart aches and many dead people by heart infections, who will buy the movies???? u are very stupid to prioritize a movie industry above a single life of an innocent person.
