The leadership of the National Film Authority (NFA) is making power moves to transform Ghana into a top-tier destination for film production.
In a strategic courtesy visit, Executive Secretary Kafui Danku-Pitcher and Deputy Executive Secretary James Gardiner took center stage at the offices of the Ghana Revenue Authority’s Customs Division, where they met with the Commissioner, Brig. Gen. Glover Ashong Annan.
But this wasn’t your usual formal sit-down—it was a creative brainstorming session with big implications.
The spotlight was on one mission: streamlining customs processes for the importation of film equipment and logistics. For filmmakers who’ve faced delays and hurdles at the ports, this move could mark a dramatic plot twist in their production journeys.
According to NFA, this is is about building an industry, not just making movies but we need systems that work for creatives, and this is a huge step
“The meeting focused on discussions around streamlining processes for the importation of equipment and other logistics to support film production and related creative activities in Ghana. This engagement forms part of the NFA’s ongoing efforts to create and sustain a conducive enabling environment for the film industry.” Posted on National Film Authority’s official Facebook page.
From lighting rigs and cinema-grade cameras to props and costumes, filmmakers often need to bring in specialized tools to bring their visions to life.
The visit is part of the NFA’s larger script to build a thriving, business-friendly environment for the film and creative arts sector in Ghana. And if this scene is anything to go by, the sequel promises even greater impact.
