Ghanaian actor Van Vicker has fired salvo at Kumasi actors. According to him, most Kumawood actors cannot read that is why they are just given scenarios and scenes and asked to come up with their own wording.
Van was answering a question on what he made of the strong line between the Accra movies (glamour) and Kumasi movies (Kumawood).
According to him, some movies done in Kumasi don?t really follow script per say, and that ?a number of actors there can?t read so they just give scenarios.
“They mention a scene and the actors will have to come up with their own wording that is worth acting but when I go to shoot in Kumasi and I?m faced with similar problems where they give me scenarios, I demand scripts so I?m given a script but not a fully fleshed script?.
He pointed out that the situation is bad because the revenue filmmakers generate is not what it should be, they still have piracy problems and there is no unity in the industry.
?there is a lot of future ahead the film industry, producers and directors are also very much interested in upgrading and are very much interested in having new equipment to bring good quality movies. So yes it?s bad and good at the same time?. he said.
