He expressed his eagerness to utilize his years of experience to propel advancement and expansion and to address key issues affecting the film industry and the creative sector as a whole.

“I want you to know that I have accepted the invitation to be the Guest of Honor. I am extremely honored. This will offer me the amazing chance to talk about a few pertinent issues.

“Nigeria was nowhere when Ghana started, but the story is different. We haven’t told our own stories or the stories of others, both of which should have been told.

He stated, “I’m happy to have this platform to address some of these issues.” “We have many rich stories to tell.”
The Ga Mantse showered acclaim on Juliet Asante and movie producer, Shirley Manso, commending their enthusiastic endeavors in the entertainment world.

He said, “You are great women who have kept the industry’s fire burning.” In a benevolent reaction, Ms. Asante offered her genuine thanks to the Ga Mantse, for his thoughtful words as well as for energetically getting the NFA group and tolerating their encouragement to be the praiseworthy visitor.
