Veteran Ghanaian actor David Dontoh also known as Ghana Man has said that there is more money in the movie industry than in gold mining.
David Dontoh has been in the movie industry for several years and has made a positive impact with his movies. According to him, the movie industry is more lucrative than the gold mineral.
Mr. Dontoh explained that if money is invested in the movie industry, it will be more lucrative and produce more money than having a gold mineral.
“It will excite them, it will interest them to probe further and even find ways of capturing that material in a film then it will attract the investors”.
“I tell you there is gold in films which is more valuable than the gold we have in the ground. This is because storytelling is limitless. There is no limit to what you can do with films. So what is holding us?” David Dontoh quizzed in an interview with Amansan Krakye on Kastle FM.
Speaking about how the government has been unable to support the movie industry, David Dontoh said there is a need to build infrastructures to support the industry.
“How many theatre festivals do we have here? How many music festivals? We must do things that are magnetic, interesting, and things that people would want to come and watch. We don’t have it all because we don’t see their importance. And we don’t think we can even make money out of them”, he said adding that, it is the only industry that can employ every professional”.
