English movie industry is at a low point - Nana Akua Addo

“I was at the AMVCAs this year and we didn’t pick even a single award. This is the reality we are facing now", Nana Akua revealed in her recent interview.

Ghanaian actress, Nana Akua Addo says the Ghanaian movie industry is at a low point and this has made many actors jobless.

Famous of the role in ‘Wanna be’ movie, Nana Akua disclosed that “The English movie industry is no doubt at a low point. This is the reason I have not been active on our screens. Tell me, how many English speaking movies did Ghana produce last year?” in a interview with Graphic Online.

“This has rendered most of us jobless and even affected our performance at award schemes. For two years now, Ghana hasn’t made any meaningful impact at the AMAAs and AMVCAs.

The award-winning fashion icon, Nana Akua added that, “I was at the AMVCAs this year and we didn’t pick even a single award. This is the reality we are facing now. This inspired me to build my brand around fashion and I haven’t regretted toeing that path”.

The mother-of-two revealed that she has found a new passion for fashion that is promoting her brand in Ghana and across Africa.

“I had been acting for so many years but it didn’t pay off that much until I found my new love in fashion. It has brought me a lot of attention in the industry that acting didn’t bring and it is paying more for me”.

Nana Akua who has featured in movies such as Destiny’s Child, Blood, Wanna Be, Rain, Speechless, Never Again, Anokwa and Tears said she is happy about actors becoming producers.
