Living in Ghana is hard as it stands, with an industry that is almost non-existent you will find yourself at the extreme end of the success ladder if you decide to take up just one job especially in the movie industry.
Screen Goddess, Yvonne Okoro says it will be a mistake to take acting on a full time because it does not pay. She told Abeiku Santana on ‘Atuu’s Show’ aired on UTV that the movie industry has financial challenges.
“The movie industry now does not have enough producers and finance. It’s all because there’s no money in the industry lately. The actors and actresses have now turned into producers, which shouldn’t be so.
“There should be something aside acting you can perfect at. Acting does not fetch money in Ghana right now. Compared to Nigeria where they have over 20 cinemas and a larger population as well, a good movie can sell in all cinemas and make huge sums of money, it is not so in Ghana.
“I’d advise these up and coming actors to go to school, get a constant paying job and maybe do acting for the passion of it.”
