Gollywood & Nollywood To Sign MoU

Ghanaian film makers and their counterparts in Nigeria have agreed to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on what to charge when movies are done in both countries.

There has been a simmering face-off between movie makers of both countries ever since Gollywood introduced a $1,000 fee from foreign movie makers, especially those from Nollywood, in a bid to reduce the extent to which foreign movies had taken over the Ghanaian market.

Nigeria responded with a hefty amount for their counterparts in Ghana – an amount Ghanaian actor John Dumelo allegedly refused to pay when he was acting in Nigeria and was reportedly arrested. Meanwhile, Actors Guild of Nigeria President, Segun Arinze , has also confirmed to nigeriafilms.com that plans are far advanced for both parties to have a final decisive meeting either in Lagos or Accra.

“We are brothers and we will forever remain brothers. It is a free enterprise; we just need to sort a few things out.”Arinze was quoted as saying.
