Actor, John Dumelo, claims endorsing President John Mahama has not affected his career in any way.
Dumelo told Graphic Showbiz, he still gets scripts from movie producers who want to work with him.
“This year alone, I have done about seven productions and I did two just last month, it hasn’t affected my career in anyway even though I must admit that the film industry has generally slowed down a bit. They call me all the time and some of them even say I charge too much and we laugh over it.”
Few weeks ago, the ‘Northern Affair‘ actor joined the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during the campaign launch of the party in Cape Coast.
As a movie veteran in his own right, Dumelo shared his thoughts on the current state of the movie industry in Ghana.
“Although things are a bit slow in terms of productions, the film industry now is growing, we have a lot of movies doing very well like Amakye and Dede, Abdul Salam Mumuni’s movies, Yvonne Nelson’s movies and a host of others. It looks like these days, a lot of people want comedy. So I think movie makers should look in that direction and produce more comedy.”
He also added that “lot of TV stations are going digital so producers should continue selling their movies online and also consider other marketing opportunities like premiering in other countries to make money.”
