Ghana movies and Ghanaian actors and actresses are all local and everything they create on screen are for local consumption so who cares if it is Kumawood or Accrawood movies. Please control your utterances Madam Kumawood.

Why should she her whole point is if someone takes her movie outside the country the person will identify it as a Ghanaian movie so why should we in Ghana decide to create decision along such a nonsensical line was far as I know she's Ghanaian that's what is on her passport "Ghanian" not kumasian so identify her as a Ghanaian actor what's the issue here

onua,USA did not name their movie Industrie after the country America (americawood).the name Hollywood came about due to the people who were living in Hollywood their passion for movies or acting,so they came up with the name Hollywood which is in the states of california and the whole USA supported it.but in Ghana due to our tribal hatred towards Ashantis because of how some funny politicians who couldn't deliver resulted in pertty tribal nonsense in oder to create hate among Ghanaians but kumawood has help alot of Ghanaian actors from different tribes.sometimes it baffles me how some Akan tribes also support those fake tribes who hate to hear twi language as if they don't speak twi,whereas we have Ashanti twi,Akwuapim twi,fanti twi,bono twi,kwahu twi and all the other Akan tribes.the India movies or bollywood Films are all done in their traditional language call ordu yet we enjoy it.hmmm Ghana people lack of knowlange my people, ,,,,,,?

Yes AJ, you are right. Most blacks don't think that is why were are not creative so blacks just copy. For example look at Ghanaian musicians how they sing like Nigerians.

Don't get peeved because you are being called kumawood actress Kumawood is a brand that has gained the fame. It is that brand that enable people to know you better. It is on the wheels of that brand that you are establishing and rebrand yourself. You were part of the hard working people who made that brand stood tall among the lots in Ghana. At first you actress/actors from that side of Ghana were called illiterates by those at Accra. They accused you people of not being able to read scripts but now they are begging to come and join the brand. Please don't underestimate the brand you have created. It is an expensive trade mark that is worth billions of dollar. let it live to shame those who ridicule you as "nkurasefo". Long Live Kumawood. You only have to bring innovation to make it more competing at international levels. Who knows how Hollywoods started. Nollywood also started like that but now look they have a brand for themselves. Don't be angree at all and don't be ashamed of belonging to that group because you are serving certain niche in market. and that is your brand trademark.

the problem is how the kumawood movies are made.emelia brobbey claims she've not made a new movie since jan 2017 till may 2017. hollywood would have been a better description, or say comparison of you instead of kumawood but the reality is hollywood does not come out with new movies every 5 months, never. it takes months and months for hollywood to come out with new movies or sequels. the gh movie industry is coming out with parts 1, 2, 3, 4 of movies within months if not weeks, months! all the accrawoods and kumawoods are on the wrong track, they should follow the trails of hollywood if they want to be refered as hollywood instead of kumawood

I'm with her but for a different reason. Ghanaian always feel the need to copy because deep down inside we have an identity crisis. Why do you need the word WOOD in your cinema? That goes for the dreadful Ghollywood also.

So because Bollywood and that disgraceful Nollywood added WOOD to their name our brainless artist said lets put wood on it lol.

Why not unite the two under one name without the word WOOD in it and show the world our diversity creativity and unity for the arts.

That will never happen because Ashanti ppl have a bush mentality and Gas feel like their better than everybody when in fact the Ghana movie industry has been in the can for the passed decade.

Outside of Kumasi no one care for that mess not even your ppl abrod. It's pure rubbish only made on the cheap and sold to the cheap with cheap wanna be stars. Ghollywood is a cheap knock-off with no direction.

How about you fool unit under the GHANA flag and create a industry that includes all...

she has a point...but actors in the Gh movie industry lack innovation. I have watched several Naija movies and in all aspects we are no where near them. Gone were the days when Naija looked up to our film industry.
