Newly-appointed member of the Film Directors Guild of Ghana (FDGG), Van Vicker, who is a top actor in Ghana, has said the movie industry in the country is progressing at a slower pace because some things are yet to be put in place.

But he stressed that things will get better because there is the desire by stakeholders in the industry to move it forward.

“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 pointed out.

According to the actor, in an interview with Hitz FM’s Ibrahim Ben-Bako, explained that the difference between the Accra actors (Glamour) and their Kumasi counterparts (Kumawood) is that the latter do not act according to scripts because they are not given.

He said, “Some movies done in Kumasi don’t really follow script per say. Because 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.”
