GFI Advised to Develop Practical Ways to Solve Industry Challenges

Moses Babatope

The Ghana Film Industry (GFI), also known as Ghallywood, has faced numerous challenges over the years that have hindered its growth and development.

From lack of funding and infrastructure to piracy and lack of government support, stakeholders in the industry have had to navigate through a myriad of obstacles to keep the industry afloat.

In light of these challenges, stakeholders in the Ghanaian movie industry have been called upon to come together and develop practical ways to solve these issues and ensure the sustainability and growth of the industry.

This call to action comes at a crucial time when the industry is facing increasing competition from other African countries such as Nigeria and South Africa, which have seen significant growth in their respective movie industries.

Unlike other countries where the government provides financial support and incentives for filmmakers, Ghana has struggled to provide adequate funding for the industry. This has resulted in low production values and limited resources for filmmakers, making it difficult for them to compete on a global scale.

Stakeholders in the industry need to come together and explore different funding options such as partnerships with private investors, crowdfunding campaigns, and grants from international organizations.

Piracy not only robs filmmakers of their hard-earned income but also discourages investors from investing in the industry. To combat piracy, stakeholders in the industry need to work together to educate the public about the negative effects of piracy and enforce stricter laws and regulations to protect intellectual property rights.

The co-founder and former Group Managing Director, of Filmhouse Group, Moses Babatope has urged players in Ghana’s film industry to find practical ways to solve the seemingly challenges that have slowed the industry’s growth.

He mentioned that it is not progressive for stakeholders in the industry to depend solely on the government for the industry’s revival if they don’t take practical steps to solve the problems.

“The government is always spending on other projects and will say they don’t have money. And that is why you must not wait for them but take things into your hands. Ghana has shown huge potential in the past.

“For instance, around 2009, Ghanaian movies such as Perfect Pictures, House of Gold, and Potato Potahto were box office hits in cinemas in Nigeria so it’s possible.”

Moses Babatope

The challenges facing the Ghanaian movie industry are significant, but by working together and developing practical solutions, stakeholders overcome these obstacles and ensure the sustainability and growth of the industry.

By exploring new funding options, combating piracy, embracing new technologies, and advocating for government support, stakeholders create a thriving and competitive movie industry that will showcase the rich cultural heritage of Ghana to the world.

YouTube, Feeding Filmmakers

YouTube has revolutionized the way filmmakers create, distribute, and monetize their content.

With over 2 billion monthly active users, YouTube has become a powerful platform for filmmakers to showcase their work to a global audience and build a loyal fan base.

From short films and documentaries to web series and tutorials, YouTube has provided filmmakers with a unique opportunity to connect with viewers and grow their careers in ways that were previously unimaginable.

Filmmakers earn money from their videos through ad revenue, channel memberships, Super Chats, and merchandise sales. This has allowed filmmakers to turn their passion into a sustainable career by monetizing their content and reaching a wider audience.

By consistently creating high-quality, engaging content, filmmakers attract a loyal following and generate a steady stream of income from their YouTube channel.

YouTube has also provided filmmakers with a platform to showcase their work and gain recognition in the industry.

Many filmmakers have used YouTube as a launching pad for their careers, gaining exposure and building a fan base that has led to opportunities in traditional media such as film festivals, TV networks, and production companies.

Nollywood actress, Ruth Kadiri opened up on why she decided to upload her movies on YouTube.

Kadiri stated that she began uploading her films on YouTube as she sought a platform where she could freely express herself and tell her stories.

“Personally I don’t worry about competition and I feel like as filmmakers, we are at the forefront and we hustle. If you remove YouTube from the industry, apart from filmmakers and content creators, people will go hungry.

“YouTube is an opportunity for a lot of filmmakers to make money and that’s what is happening now. Because YouTube is what is feeding people now.”

Ruth Kadiri

Through monetization programs, resources, and a sense of community, YouTube has empowered filmmakers to pursue their passion, grow their careers, and reach new heights in the industry.

As the platform continues to evolve and innovate, filmmakers can look forward to even more opportunities to thrive and succeed in the digital age.
