Veteran Ghanaian actor David Dontoh, often referred to as Ghana Man, has said that the film profession is more lucrative than the gold mining sector.
David Dontoh has a long career in the film industry, and his work has had a positive impact. He asserts that the movie business is more profitable than the mining of gold.
According to Mr. Dontoh, investing in the film industry will be more profitable and provide more income than owning a gold mine.
“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 Amansan Krakye on Kastle FM.
David Dontoh stated that infrastructure needs to be built to help the film business because the government has been unable to do it.
“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”.
