The boad Chairman of the National Film Authority, David Dontoh, says the film industry is more lucrative than the gold mining sector.
According to the veteran actor, investing in the film industry will be more profitable and provide more income than owning a gold mineral.
“It will excite them, it will interest them to probe further and even find ways of capturing that material in a film, then it will attract the investors”.
“I tell you there is gold in films which is more valuable than the gold we have in the ground. This is because storytelling is limitless. There is no limit to what you can do with films. So what is holding us?” David Dontoh quizzed in an interview with Kastle FM.
“How many theatre festivals do we have here? How many music festivals? We must do things that are magnetic, interesting, and things that people would want to come and watch. We don’t have it all because we don’t see their importance. And we don’t think we can even make money out of them”, he said, adding that, it is the only industry that can employ every professional.
