Ghanaian actor, Chris Attoh, has raised a concern about movies produced in the country.
He complained in a recent interview with Graphic Showbiz that Ghanaian movie producers are not producing quality content for Netflix.
Attoh said Nigeria and South Africa dominate on this platform when you compare.
“It is not about the right content; it is about the quality of the content and Ghana is not producing enough quality content to be able to make it onto these platforms. The reality is, we are such a discerning audience now, not just Ghanaians but the entire world so if you come out with something that doesn’t look good, people can see.
“When you go onto Netflix at the moment, the major content that you find African is from South Africa and also Nigeria. How do we get in the mix, we get in there by things being done the proper way. So, a movie like Nine that has been shot properly should be able to match the kind of movies that Netflix is getting from Nigeria so that when you turn on the TV and you are looking for Ghanaian movies, they are there as well,” he stated.
The Ghanaian actor advised movie producers in Ghana to produce content that will meet the standards of streaming platforms such as Netflix.
“Change is happening all around us and we can’t be left behind. If a ship doesn’t know where it is headed, it will end up going nowhere. We just have to make sure we don’t end up like a directionless ship. We need to do this well to be sure we hit the excellent mark. This is how the industry will grow and we can only get there if we make the conscious effort to produce quality,” Chris Attoh posited.
