Kumawood needs good scripts to make it better – Fritz Baffour

Former National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament for Ablekuma South, Honourable Fritz Baffour has stated that Kumasi based Akan movie makers need good scripts to excel.

According to the Minister for Information, although his genre of movie isn’t Kumawood, he enjoys watching them.

A former actor himself, Hon. Baffour told Kasapa Entertainment that the Kumawood movie sector is doing what they can with the resources available to them.

He, however stated that the Kumawood movies would have been improved if stakeholders had helped them with regards to writing better scripts.

“If I’m doing nothing, I do watch the Kumawood movies. I follow the trend and it’s interesting. Anybody who is in the art or acting is got to be respected. Actually the genre of movie I enjoy might not be Kumawood but I can sit down and see the entertainment value of a lot of the Kumawood films. We could have taken it farther upwards if other people have come in in terms of writing better scripts and giving better research but everyone fears to help as if Kumawood is something that shouldn’t be touched and that the people are doing it are base but isn’t TRUE.”
