Ghanaian actor Fiifi Coleman highlights disunity as a major problem in Ghana’s movie industry
Ghanaian actor Fiifi Coleman has attributed the decline of the country’s movie industry, to disunity.
According to him, the presence of ‘clans’ and ‘groups’ within the industry has created an unhealthy environment that stifles growth and progress.
“Yes, I would say disunity is a factor in the downfall of our industry. Some producers have specific actors and actresses they constantly cast in their productions,” Coleman stated.
He further lamented how personal conflicts between industry players impact production, with some actors declining roles simply because of the involvement of people they dislike.
“Some decline roles because someone they don’t like is in there. And because they’ve been in the game for long or have certain relationships with producers, they might be compelled to adhere to these demands,” he revealed.
Mr. Coleman criticized this behavior, emphasizing how it weakens the industry and limits opportunities for new talent. He urged producers and stakeholders to scout for hidden talent across the country, stressing that this would diversify the industry and break the cycle of repetitive casting.
His remarks highlight the need for unity and collaboration to rebuild the Ghanaian movie industry into an inclusive and thriving space.
