‘Sparrow Productions’ Launches 4 Big Things

Sparrow Productions has for the last 6 years brought us intriguing and quality movies which have won our hearts. Even at a time when the Ghanaian Movie Industry had no distinguishable identity, Sparrow Productions was able to define itself through its work—as the powerhouse of quality and well thought-of African movies…

A journey which started with ‘Life and Living It’ and captured the ‘Perfect Picture’ of the many troubles we face in life via ‘Scorned’, ‘CheckMate’, ‘Six Hours to Christmas’ and the ‘Sexy, Sassy, Wahala’ of ‘Adams Apples’ was today REDEFINED with the launch of the ‘4 BIG THINGS’.

Launched in Accra today, the ‘4 BIG THINGS’ are set to change the way you see Sparrow Productions and the way you’ve enjoyed their excellent films and other African movies over the years—all for the better.

Forget the Awards because they’ve won them all. What really matters is how you would be able to enjoy the excellent ‘high quality’ films of Sparrow Productions and from other African film-makers on time and from wherever you are in the world.

It surely must have been tense for you to wait for months to watch some of the best African movies, especially from Sparrow Productions—simply because you live at the other side of the world…

Let me take you through the ‘4 BIG THINGS’ which will not only excite all African movie lovers but it will also in reality change the way African movie lovers access and watch some of the great African productions.

by Comfort Asante, GC Staff Writer

It has emerged that, wearing socks during sex and dirty talking in the bedroom are some of the reasons that push women to cheat on their partners—pretty a lame excuse…right?

Victoria Milan, a dating website that helps people find extramarital affairs, surveyed more than 4,000 women to uncover the top five bad habits that lead to infidelity and shockingly, some married women cheat because their men wore socks in bed…

Also, stealing the sheets at night which is termed as not-being a gentleman and being narcissistic (only pleasuring one’s self, rather than their partner) are among the bad habits that contribute to women’s extramarital behavior..

According to the website; ‘Little things like stealing her covers, keeping his socks on white making love, or checking the dreadful smartphone,’ are all ungentlemanly gestures that turn women off, reads a statement issued by the site.

PHOTO FROM The Launch Of Ghana Movie Awards 2013 + Why Must The Proceeds Of The Event Go To ‘Kwabena Kwabena’s Save A Heart Campaign & Not The Struggling Industry?

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?

However, a publication by NewsOne which stated among other things that, Sonnie Badu once said at a press conference ‘Ghanaian Gospel Musicians Sing Nonsense and Also Do Not Exalt God’ has become the subject of attention.

Sonnie Badu has taken to Twitter to debunk the publication which suggests that the he once ‘insulted’ his Gospel musical counterparts in Ghana…

Reacting to the story on Twitter yesterday, Sonnie Badu wrote; “It’s been drawn to our attention that there is a news circulation that I said This and that about Ghanaian gospel artist .. Well first of all I am a big fan of Ghana gospel music and I would never say such a thing ..,”

He continued by saying, “It’s quite sad that upon the victory God gave us all on sat [Saturday], someone tries to destroy what God is doing. It [is] sad that In ur own country instead of people appreciating ur efforts they are doing all they can to destroy what God is doing.”
