He said that the genesis of their problems started when there was a low power supply in the country (Dumsor) and this according to him rendered most of the actors jobless.
In an interview with Nana Ama Mcbrown on the United Showbiz, Akrobeto said that “Dumsor” was the main reason why most local movie industry productions stopped making movies. He said that “Dumsor” made it impossible for them to work and caused low patronage of local movie contents.
“Dumsor was a big problem to our work. It was the beginning of our owoes because we weren’t able to work as we used to do.”
“People could not even watch movies they buy and we weren’t able to churn out more content for our viewers,”he said.
He also said that Ghanaians always complained about the low quality level of the local movie contents of which he admitted and said that though the local movie industry is not moving in the direction they desired but he believes with the use of modern technology, they can still come back and produce better movies.
