Bishop Charles Agyin Asare, founder of Perez Church International has shared some insights about Ghana's movie industry.

In an interview with Christian Agyei Frempong on Anigye Mere on Onua FM, he said the filmmaking industry in the country does not need prayers but rather a solid plan to move it from the current state.

“Even when God rains manna from heaven, you need to go out and collect them. Our movie industry is far beyond prayers for survival. All we need is a pragmatic approach and action to rub shoulders with the international market,” Agyin Asare stated as quoted in a 3news report.
