Award-winning movie make, Peter Sedufia, has updated that locally produced movies are as good as the internationally produced ones in terms of content.

He stated that the only difference is the lack of promoters and distributors. 

Peter claimed that Ghanaian movies produced in recent times have been mind-blowing but have not gotten the recognitions that they deserved on the global stage because no mega distribution company will sign deals to sell the movies on a larger scale across the world.

He made the claims on his Facebook page, where he said: "I’ve said several times on many platforms that the major thing we lack in the Ghanaian film space is not good films, but, distributors.

“I don’t think Ghana has any person or agency that can call itself a distributor. I’ve been waiting to be proved wrong, and still waiting,”He lamented Ghana's inability to follow its sisters, Nigeria and South Africa in terms of streaming movie productions online especially during the pandemic period.

He stated how unfortunate it is that Ghana cannot boast of vibrant and financially-supporting local online streaming platforms."Another thing we lack is vibrant and financially rewarding local online streaming platforms for our contents. In times like this Covid-19 pandemic, when lots of people are indoors, we’re all watching Netflix that doesn’t have most of our local contents,” he said.

“But, go to Nigeria; they’re probably watching Iroko, CongaTV and few other local online platforms who pay for contents, plus Netflix.

“Go to South Africa, they’re also probably streaming Showmax and few other local platforms who pay for contents, plus Netflix. And note, that’s where Netflix opened its first office in Africa – Do the math. Distributors are the legs of every content, no matter how good,” he added.
