Where from the Ashanti people bla bla nonsense and what about?
Most people especially from the actors and actresses in Kumasi have been advocating for the embarrassing name to be scrabed.

It is really funny, are Ghanaians and nigerians really serious at all? Can't we name our Movie industry without WOOD?We copy blindly. Hollywood is a district in Los Angeles, California. just like Kumasi in Ghana. So if we want to copy well not just copy blindly. They can just use KUMASI MOVIES AND STOP THIS WOOD, WOOD THING.

the reason we keep the name kumawood is becos of the origins of the gh movie industry. so teh fact that northerners, ewes etc speak twi or english has no bearing on where the language or how its written originated from. awards should be given to those who merit the award. you shoul take pride in the name kumawood and stop talking silly. secondly, amanda jissih has a duty to review kumawood movies. gh has a local and foriegh movie industry. if you dont review the locla ones and get audiences to want to pay money to watch them. how will the local scene thrive? infact, most gh ppl...90percent dont think. use ur brainooooo. ur brin is not there to think of only nefarious things. think of ow to be productive with your frigging brain. nkwasiafour!

I give kudos to the work people do but, strategically thinking, the name is unappealing for reasons of marketability. Good topic. Hopefully something better will come out of it. Also the wood thing is kind of "bootleg".but you know development always has to start from somewhere and the recognition for the need to improve the situation will eventually serve a good course. by the way if anyone wants to turn this into some ignorant tribal talk, I would say that the only kurasini is the big belly sitting under the carpenter shed, with a calabash of palmwine or ogugoro and his wife's cloth around the waist.

Hollywood is a district in Los Angeles, California.Ghanaians and Nigerians are copying by naming their Movie Industries gallywood and nollywood. So If the Kumasi Movie industry wants to follow the US then, they should just call the industry KUMASI not Kumawood.
