Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson, has revealed how the money
she earned from making movies in Nigeria was used to produce her Ghanaian
movies.
Nelson, who spoke during an interview on a Ghanaian radio
station, Hitz FM, said she made a decent living while making films in Nigeria.
She stated that she did not spend much of the money she
earned but saved it for her movies, adding that producing her movies has been
rewarding.
a Ghanaian radio station, the actress, who has featured in
several Nollywood movies, spoke on how she made money from Nigeria.
She said, “There is money in film, I started in 2010, so I
have been using the same money you know.
“I have made some decent money from Nigeria, so that money I
didn’t touch it, it is for production.
“I have my production account so that is what I have been
using to produce all these movies, and luckily for me, some of my past
productions I got like placement money from companies to do placements and
stuff.
“It has been rewarding if you know what you are doing and
your movies are good.”
Commenting on how Ghana’s movie industry can step up, Nelson
mentioned some of her colleagues who could start making quality movies to
revive the country’s film industry.
Nelson, who has starred in many Nollywood movies, urged
Ghanaian actors to put more effort into reviving the country’s movie industry.
“It can, if John Dumelo, Jackie Appiah, Yvonne Okoro, Van
Vicker, we all become producers. I believe everyone is going to see it, you
know, the revival will be seen. I am urging people, not just outsiders or
people who have money, we can do it on our own.
“I can’t be the only one going around talking and saying
let’s do this, people can see that we are not even bothered about the industry,
we don’t care if it crashes or not so yeah if we can all start producing and
helping the younger ones also showcase their talents, I believe we will start
from somewhere,” she stated.
