Ghanaian filmmaker, Kofi Asamoah talks about the relevance of CD’s and DVD’s.<\/p>\n
Earlier in the week, there was a heated argument between two popular Ghanaian movie producers Socrate Sarfo and Kofi Asamoah. This was on Zylofon FM hosted by Sammy Flex.<\/p>\n
Moreover, Mr. Sarfo advocates for the sales of movies on CDs. Also, he stated that he is ready to activate DVD sales on the street with his new movies.<\/p>\n
However, Kofi Asamoah is of a different opinion. He stated that the already dying industry will continue to decline if movie producers go back to the selling of DVDs on the street.<\/p>\n
He argued that<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not against the selling of DVDs because it is part of the distribution system, but shooting a movie and selling them on CDs two weeks or months after release will kill the cinema industry\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\u201cmovie patrons will opt not to go to the cinemas, pay GHC30 to watch movies when released because they know they can wait for some two weeks and buy the CDs for GHC10\u2026<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
